Extra Everything!

Cecilia Lidbeck

Berlin’s sky glows in a fiery blue when I get off the plane. It’s chilly in the air, but it feels like spring. I take off my hat and put it in my pocket. Bye bye Sweden.

What do you do when you have a big fight with your best friend, your home is invaded by strangers and your father changes girlfriends like others change socks? Everlyn Bea Billing goes to Germany.

Bea’s eccentric mother lives in Berlin and is always busy with her work as an artist, too busy to see Bea. It’s been years since Bea visited, but finally she is invited (after some persuasion) – she is excited! But things don’t turn out as expected, and Bea feels lonelier than ever…

Cecilia Lidbeck has written a funny and pitchperfect novel about friendship, family life and an adventurous journey – at a fast pace but without, for that matter, losing any depth. In short: a novel that is extra everything!

Press voice

“In Extra Everything Lidbeck manages to touch upon big questions and everyday situations that are present in a child’s life and the crash between being a kid and being an adult and the way, you adapt your life. The language is easy and has a drive that engages the reader which makes this fitting for both the ones with a reading habit and the beginner” Bibliotekstjänst

“A novel with a high speed, much humour, big depth and character that changes appearance and grows in the pace that you read. It’s very nicely done.” Vi läser

”Cecila Lidbeck uses a cutting humour when she tells about Beas everyday life with her childhood friend Immanuel and best friend Lykke, a not completely easy but wonderful combination.” Lotta Olsson, Dagens Nyheter
