Why Can’t Everything Just Stay The Same?

As a child, being in new places made Stefanie Preissner ill, which is why her family holidayed in the same apartment on the same island off the Spanish coast for nine years in a row. And why, at Christmas, she wrote lengthy letters to Santa (note: letters, plural) begging him not to bring any surprises. Change was the enemy. But, as it turns out, one Stefanie hasn’t been able to avoid. And, in spite of herself, one she has sometimes invited into her life.

Here, in her first book, Stefanie looks at the ways in which her life has changed. From birthdays, friendships and how she celebrates the festive season to social media (no FOMO here), the importance of asking WWNSD? (What Would Nicole Scherzinger Do?) when faced with big decisions, and her career as a writer, Why Can’t Everything Just Stay the Same? is the hilarious and honest account of one woman’s journey to and through adulthood, coping (sort of) with the terror, inevitability and beauty of change.
