Debut memoir reveals what it's really like to be a woman in her 30s today
Sheree Joseph always wanted to write the Great Australian Novel. Instead, her first book is a memoir about what happens when life doesn't live up to expectations.
Debut memoirist Sheree Joseph chronicles her life in her 30s as she navigates life's unexpected twists. She recounts her failed relationships, career setbacks, and struggles with infertility. Joseph found inspiration in the ancient Sumerian goddess Inanna, who descends into the underworld, shedding layers of armor at each gate before being reborn.
She used this cycle to structure her memoir, Juicy: How to Live a Life in the Wreckage of Expectations. With its blend of humor and vulnerability, Juicy aims to break the mold of traditional memoirs, exploring themes of joy, grief, and the evolving expectations for women in their 30s.
