Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I had spent nearly three years in Beijing getting used to being stared at and judged by the locals. I assumed it would be a breeze to assimilate in England, but instead, the people there stole my wallet and my visa, and thus my right to work in the UK. #2 I had spent a few years in London, and all my friends had left. I was still writing blog posts about shoes, but now I was doing it for less money while sitting on our sunken blue sofa. I began to call myself a freelancer. #3 I was in a deep hole, and I didn't know how to get out. I had created a fortress around myself, stacked high with books and a sign on the wall that said, I don't need you anyhow! But I did. #4 I was lured in by the gym's free membership if I attended three fitness classes a week and won their in-house fitness and weight loss challenge. I was confident about winning because it's easy to win things like this when you have nothing else going on in your life
