| 1 | You’re Crushing It: Positivity for living your REAL life | 2019 | Lex Croucher | Buy |
“You’re Crushing It: Positivity for living your REAL life” was published in 2019, before Lex Croucher began her fiction career. The book is aimed at younger readers and takes a self-aware, humor-forward approach to the kind of positivity content that fills social media, acknowledging that real life rarely looks like a curated feed.
The title’s irony signals the book’s approach: rather than presenting an aspirational vision, it meets readers where they are and offers practical encouragement for navigating the gap between how life looks online and how it actually feels. The tone is lighter and funnier than most self-help titles aimed at the same audience.
This remains Croucher’s only non-fiction work. Her subsequent career has been entirely in fiction, suggesting the positivity guide was a standalone project that helped establish her voice rather than the beginning of a parallel non-fiction track. Readers who discovered her through her Regency novels and want to read her complete output will find this an interesting contrast to her historical fiction.
