Burnt Toast is about the months no one posts.
It's about living the van-life dream - and discovering what happens when the toast burns, the nights get long, and smiling becomes survival rather than joy.
This is the sequel to Egg Butties, which celebrated the funny, chaotic, heart-warming side of van life: road trips, dogs, mishaps, freedom, and laughter.
It explores:
grief and loss on the road
break-ins, loneliness, and fear
the emotional toll of living in a van as a woman on her own
the difference between surviving and truly feeling safe
the reality behind the Instagram version of van life
This is not a book about blaming people, naming relationships, or explaining breakups.
It's about what happens after - when independence becomes heavy, systems break down, and life keeps demanding resilience.
Burnt Toast is honest, raw, and quietly brave.
It's about learning when to keep going - and when choosing safety is not failure, but growth.
Like burnt toast, it leaves a bitter taste.
And like burnt toast, it feeds you anyway - reminding you something went wrong, and something needs to change.
This book is for anyone who has ever:
lived the dream and felt empty inside it
carried grief in a small space
kept smiling when things were falling apart
learned that freedom without safety isn't freedom at all
This is van life without the filter.
This is grief without performance.
This is the part people don't post.
Not the van life you see online. The one you live through.
