Today marks the four-year book release anniversary of The Extraordinary Ordinary, written by the feature film’s director, writer, and producer, Natalie Rodriguez (@natchristinerod ).
Here is a snippet from the novel, narrated by the wonderful Jennifer Baptiste (@wheresmsb ) — with sincere thanks for her contribution in bringing select chapters to life 🙏💚

A heartfelt thank you to the bookstores, readers, and reviewers who supported this independently published novel over the years. That support continues to mean so much.
“Three college students learn to cope with their mental health when one experiences panic attacks. After a traumatic past, Erica moves from New York to Southern California for a fresh start, where she meets Bianca and Alex and realizes she is not alone in her struggles.”

42-22
Flexible, flirty, fostering growth
And entering forty.
Far from twenty two.
No kids, no man, no problems.
Life isn’t what I thought it would be,
But it isn’t bad.
Freewriting, flourishing, and
Fading into the next phase
Of the Fall of my life.
Closer to death,
But I feel so alive.
Forty feels like twenty two.
