Amanda Morris is in over her head.
She thought she was signing up for second graders and sweet tea. What she got instead was eighth-grade sass, aggressive towel slappers, and the chaos of navigating a new job, new language, and new culture—all in the heart of Istanbul.
Armed with nothing but her sense of humor and a wildly inaccurate phrasebook, Amanda stumbles her way through a year at the Istanbul International School. Between misfired hand gestures, run-ins with grumpy bus drivers, and an unexpected brush with Turkish romance, Amanda’s journey is as unpredictable as the city itself.
Cold Turkey is a laugh-out-loud novel about culture shock, courage, and finding connection where you least expect it. Set against the rich, vibrant backdrop of Turkey, this story offers equal parts hilarity and heart as Amanda learns how to survive—and maybe even thrive—in a world that never stops surprising her.
Perfect for fans of laugh-out-loud fiction, armchair travelers, and anyone who's ever felt like a foreigner—even at home.
