Juicy

'A must-read for every wild woman who refused the straight and narrow.' – Winnie Dunn

When the life you imagined falls apart, what remains?

At 33, Sheree Joseph stood in the ruins of the life she thought she’d have: no partner, no children, no tidy timeline. Instead, a pandemic, profound grief and the unsettling realisation that everything she’d been taught to want – marriage, motherhood, security – might never arrive.

Set against the backdrop of a world in crisis, Juicy is a memoir of heartbreak, healing and rewriting the narrative. In the wake of grief, failed fertility treatments and fractured relationships, Sheree searches for meaning and repair: forging forever friendships, tracing her Lebanese-Australian roots and journeying through sun-drenched Europe for a reckoning with the life she thought she’d lost.

Written with warmth, wit and unflinching honesty, Juicy is a generation-defining memoir for anyone learning to live lives far richer, deeper, juicier.
