About this audiobook
Ethan Williams lands in Beijing thinking he’s signed up for adventure—a year abroad to escape burnout, bad decisions, and a life that stopped fitting a long time ago. What he gets instead is a crash course in culture shock, chaos, and the strange, hilarious beauty of being a foreigner who barely knows how to order noodles, let alone navigate a new life.
Between unruly students, tyrannical bosses, malfunctioning elevators, and nights that start with karaoke and end in questionable apartments, Ethan stumbles through the expat world—messy, vibrant, and dangerously addictive.
Funny, intimate, and unfiltered, Half a World Away is an erotic, heartfelt story about losing yourself, finding yourself, and discovering what love looks like when you’re standing thousands of miles from everything you’ve ever known.
