Synopsis
Synopsis
‘Brilliant, vulnerable and hilarious. Sashi Perera has given us a comedy, a tragedy, a memoir, a polemic and an instruction manual on self-forgiveness. I laughed and cried, often at the same time.’ SHANKARI CHANDRAN
'This book is chaos. This book is laughter and love. This book is a friend. Give it to someone who struggles, to someone you love, someone who needs to forgive themselves. Give it to you. I adored it.' FREDRIK BACKMAN
'This book isn’t just funny (which, obviously) – it’s also a deep dive into identity and belonging. Even when she’s in a hectic shame spiral, completely adrift (which, let’s be honest, happens a lot, Sashi), she’s still relentlessly searching for meaning in a world that sometimes feels like it’s lost its own. Bloody impressive. I loved every page. It’s brilliant.’ EM RUSCIANO
After cancelling a destination wedding in Sri Lanka at the eleventh hour, most people would take a moment to regroup. Not Sashi - insisting she’s unfazed, she plunges into working with international refugee organisations around the world. Those sleepless nights are for reflecting on chaotic romances, work stress and transient lifestyles, right?
After one too many messy experiences, Sashi must accept that life is at a standstill. She returns to Australia where her reality stinks. But that just might be where she needs to be.
From online comedy sensation Sashi Perera, Standstill is a memoir of reluctant self-discovery by a person forced towards a mirror kicking and screaming, finally looking in and saying, Oh shit. It’s for anyone who’s lost their identity, relationship or place in the world and hesitated every step along the journey to get them back.
The book will be published in October 2025.
