Samantha Jayne Bücher

Samantha Jayne weiß, dass das Leben nach der Uni alles andere als glamourös ist. Während alle anderen Kinder kriegen, den Traumjob ergattern und den Studienkredit abbezahlen, spricht ihre Poetry mit kongenialen Illustrationen für alle, die verstanden haben, dass das hier nicht »die besten Jahre deines Lebens« sind. Quarter Life Poetry zeigt die Struggles einer Generation zwischen Dating-Apps, ziemlich mittelmäßigem Sex und schlecht bezahlten Jobs. Einer Generation, die so witzig, cool und selbstironisch an sich zweifelt, wie es noch keine vor ihr getan hat.

The creator of the popular Quarter Life Poetry Tumblr and Instagram tackles real-life truths of work, money, sex, and many other 20-something challenges in this laugh-out-loud collection of poetry. Samantha Jayne knows that life post-college isn't as glamorous as all undergrads think it's going to be... because she's currently living it. At 25, Samantha began creating doodles and funny poems about her #struggle to share with friends on Instagram. To her surprise, these poems were picked up by 20-somethings all around the world who agreed, "This is literally us." At a time when it seems like everyone else is getting married, snagging a dream job, and paying off their student loans, Samantha's poetry captures the voice of young people everywhere who know that your 20s can sometimes be the exact opposite of "the best years of your life."

Set against a backdrop of family rivalry, two unlikely individuals find themselves entangled in a relationship that could determine the fate of their families. As they navigate their feelings, they confront the weight of expectations and the legacy of conflict. This modern twist on classic themes of love and loyalty explores the complexities of their connection, challenging the notion of fate and the possibility of reconciliation between their worlds.
