About the author

Born in West Virginia and raised in Florida, Summer Land graduated magna cum laude from Emerson College in Boston in 2008 where she studied Marketing. After embarking on a Working Holiday in Australia and spending two ski seasons in Park City, Utah, Summer moved to Australia in 2010 where she settled down in Mudgee, NSW and began writing.


Inspired by Sloane Crosley, Chelsea Handler and David Sedaris, Summer first started blogging, but quickly learned she had a book inside of her. Summerlandish: Do As I Say, Not As I Did, was published in 2013, which prompted numerous writers' and readers' festival appearances across Australia. Today, Land writes a column in the Mudgee Guardian and is a regular contributor to The Tot. Her writing work has also been featured in Elle Australia, Cosmopolitan Australian, Mamamia and Women's Health. I Now Pronounce You Husband and Expat is her second book.

Reviews

[Ebehi]

This wasn't my kind of book but it was mentioned in a blog post I was reading, so I decide to give it a go. The writing is mostly articulate and there are funny quips here and there, but the way the stories were told reminded me too much of products of a creative writing class. That's not necessarily a bad thing; I just prefer books to take me far far away from my current schooling situation. Like I said, it wasn't really my kind of book to begin with. Nonetheless, there were good stories in there.

I actually already read the contents of this book from Summer Land's other book; Summerlandish: Do As I Say, Not As I Did. Reading it never bored my spirit and the style, photos, and colors are great! Very creative. I absolutely love Summer Land's work.
