The Unpredictability of Being Human
Linni Ingemundsen
(Author)Description
"If I got to be God for one day, I'd like to say I'd end world hunger and create world peace. But I wouldn't. Because if God could fix the big stuff, he'd have done it already."
Malin knows she can't fix the big stuff in her life. Instead, she watches from the sidelines, as her dad yells, her brother lies, and her mum falls apart. At least after she meets Hanna, she has a friend to help her. Because being Malin is complicated - learning how to kiss, what to wear to prom, and what to do when you upset the prettiest, meanest girl in school.
It's tough fitting in when you're different. But what if it's the world that's weird, not you?
A beautiful, funny and honest coming-of-age story that never pretends life is perfect.

About the Author
Linni Ingemundsen is from Norway, though she currently lives in Malta. She does not know how to draw but is somehow a freelance cartoonist. Some of her favourite things in life include chocolate, free Wi-Fi and her yellow typewriter.
Linni has lived in three different countries and will never be done exploring the world. She has worked as a dishwasher in Australia, a volunteer journalist in Tanzania and has approximately 2.5 near-death experiences behind her. Still, what truly inspires her writing is her background
growing up in a village on the south-western coast of Norway.
Linni began writing The Unpredictability of Being Human while on the Oxford Brookes MA in Creative Writing. Her dark, comical storytelling is fully displayed in this unusual, slice-of-life telling as experienced by a fourteen year old girl in Norway.
Reviews
"Ingemundsen's debut features a beguiling heroine at that most tricky stage of metamorphosis, from child to adult. [...] The darkening plot is dramatic without veering into sensationalism, and full of humour and pathos. " -- Financial Times (UK)
