One Suitcase, Two Pets, and a Breakdown is the painfully funny, surprisingly empowering story of a millennial woman who packed up her life in Brazil – along with a golden retriever and a moody cat – and moved to Australia in search of meaning, money, and maybe love (spoiler: mostly disappointments).

Between heartbreaks, side hustles, emergency vet night shifts, and questionable first dates, she stumbles, swears, and survives her way through one chaotic chapter of life after another.

Told with unfiltered humour, brutal honesty, and a side of sass, this is not your typical "and then everything worked out" story. It's a wild ride of visa stress, MMA fights, third-degree burns (seriously), friendship, financial hustle, and, eventually, self-worth.

For every woman who's ever felt lost, broke, heartbroken, or unsure of her next move, this book is your hilarious reminder that it's okay not to have it all figured out. You're allowed to start over, fall apart, laugh through the mess, and rewrite your story, again and again.

Spoiler: the happy ending might just be finding yourself.
