Synopsis

"Highly Recommend! Any fans of Bridget Jones type rom coms, the ‘chick lit’ genre and anyone with a chronic illness is going to love this one! The story flows really well, is definitely very witty and the lead character is so likable, she becomes like a friend."
Blogger & reviewer Natalie, https://thespooniemummy.com/

"A snort and two chuckles on every page. Reading this is like hanging out with your best friend!"
Author Heleen Kist - 5 stars!

"If you want to know about the struggles a ‘spoonie’ goes through, read Brace Yourself for a better understanding. The ending was very touching as well. I rated it 5 stars"

Brace Yourself is a light-hearted look at the atypical life of ‘nice’ Lizzy, who doesn’t understand why her body and her men always let her down. Looking to regain control of her life in this rom-com with a twist, will Lizzy’s bright-side attitude finally attract the perfect partner?

We join Lizzy on her humorous journey through a series of painful disasters. With bad choices, bad men and bad Doctors behind her, can Lizzy finally brace herself for a comfortable life?

“Witty, fun and spot on!”
“We need more books like yours!”
“Loved, loved, loved this book – couldn’t put it down!”
“Light, entertaining, and informative”
“A funny and very well written book”
“I read the ‘look inside’ pages and simply had to know what happened next. Lizzy is an engaging character and her story is well written.”
“Excellent, could picture every moment vividly!”
“It’s a true page turner. It made me laugh out loud.”
“Nice story about a nice lady, I'll be in the lookout for more!”

Lizzy spent much of her life negotiating undiagnosed Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTs), Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and associated conditions. Rated 5 stars by fellow ‘Spoonies’ and ‘Zebras’, with plenty of relatable moments, this un-putdownable novel combines rom-com with Lizzy's health struggles until she finally gets her diagnosis.

The author brings the often-hidden topic of chronic illness into a mainstream novel, combining all the best bits of a rom-com with awareness about life with rare or invisible health problems.

Brace Yourself is a must read!
