Previously published as How Not to Die Alone Smart, darkly funny, and life-affirming, for fans of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, Something to Live For is the bighearted debut novel we all need, a story about love, loneliness, and the importance of taking a chance when we feel we have the most to lose. "Off-beat and winning...Gives resiliency and the triumph of the human spirit a good name." --The Wall Street Journal All Andrew wants is to be normal. That's why his coworkers believe he has the perfect wife and two children waiting at home for him after a long day. But the truth is, his life isn't exactly as people think . . . and his little white lie is about to catch up with him. Because in all of Andrew's efforts to fit in, he's forgotten one important thing: how to really live. And maybe, it's finally time for him to start. "Roper illuminates Andrew's interior life to reveal not what an odd duck he is, but what odd ducks we all are." --The New York Times Book Review

500 years ago, humanity stumbled unto the secret of immortality. Unfortunately, the people who were intelligent enough to solve mortality, weren't wise enough to include an opt-out clause, in case you ever changed your mind. After a while, even immortality can get pretty boring, so, for the last two years, I've been looking for a way to die. As you can see, it has not been going well. My journey has gotten me into some strange situations. However, I never expected Death to suddenly stand in front of me and offer me a deal, that will turn my life upside down.

Ein Jahr lang lebte Silvia Fischer alias Michelle fast ohne Geld in Südfrankreich, genauer gesagt mit 88,- Euro im ganzen Jahr. Zum einen war es ein lange gehegter Traum von ihr, der damit in Erfüllung ging und umso glücklicher war sie. Noch dazu war sie neugierig, wie das denn sein wird, wenn wir eines Tages nichts mehr kaufen können ohne die Zahl des Tiere (666) - wie es in der Offenbarung des Johannes steht - und deshalb probierte sie es kurzerhand mal aus - und es funktionierte! Jeder Tag war wie Weihnachten, weil sie unglaublich viele Dinge fand, die wie Geschenke für sie waren. Doch lest selbst, was sie alles gefunden und erlebt hat! Hier ist eine zweisprachige Ausgabe in deutsch und englisch - ideal für alle, die Sprachen lernen wollen! It was Michelles dream to live without money and suddenly it became true. She also wanted to know how it will be if we cannot buy anything any more without the mark of the biest (666) which is written in the bible. And she succeeded!

Belinda is a struggling author whose father just passed away, no one knows what truly happened, but as the typewriter in the lobby suddenly starts clicking by itself, a true mystery starts to unfold.

How could you make up a story about war. About brutality of the human kind. About experiences that are burned into my brain. How could you make up loss and losing of hope. I would love to make up stories about a happy world but for this there is no time. Reality is in the center of my writing and this journal will be about the ugly but in-between about moments that are beautiful. We try to see the beauty in every bad situation and may be even capable as human beings to write our story happily even in times of war.

This book is about the loneliness of a woman who questions her worth in life. She still can't put her past behind her and has to fight for a future. For her future, otherwise she will be devoured by this cruel and unjust world.

In a world where life and death intertwine, there exists a figure neither mortal nor immortal, a being known simply as the Puppeteer. The Puppeteer seeks out the disheartened, the adrift, and the broken; mending the fractured souls of puppets whose strings have been severed prematurely, for a play must never be allowed to come to a close before its time. An exploration of humanity, love, and the relentless ache of existence.

It was Michelles dream to live without money and one day it became true.
