Juicy
How to Live a Life in the Wreckage of Expectations
'A must-read for every wild woman who refused the straight and narrow.' – Winnie Dunn
When the life you imagined falls apart, what remains?
At 33, Sheree Joseph stood in the ruins of the life she thought she’d have: no partner, no children, no tidy timeline. Instead, a pandemic, profound grief and the unsettling realisation that everything she’d been taught to want – marriage, motherhood, security – might never arrive.
Set against the backdrop of a world in crisis, Juicy is a memoir of heartbreak, healing and rewriting the narrative. In the wake of grief, failed fertility treatments and fractured relationships, Sheree searches for meaning and repair: forging forever friendships, tracing her Lebanese-Australian roots and journeying through sun-drenched Europe for a reckoning with the life she thought she’d lost.
Written with warmth, wit and unflinching honesty, Juicy is a generation-defining memoir for anyone learning to live lives far richer, deeper, juicier.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
