About The Book
From the comedian and New York Times bestselling author of Idiot, a new essay collection about divorce, dating and finding the funny even when your life is falling apart.
The world knows comedian and content creator Laura Clery for her hilariously unhinged characters, brutally honest storytelling and ability to find humour in places most of us wouldn’t dare look. But now, she’s facing a few things even she didn’t see coming: her seemingly rock-solid relationship crumbling into a very public, very painful divorce (yikes!). Becoming a single parent to two children, one of whom has significant special needs (oof!).
Worst of all? She even started dating again (ew!). But instead of pretending like her life couldn’t be better, Laura’s putting it all on the table: mess, madness and middle fingers included. And this time, she’s writing her own happy ending.
A survivor of addiction, toxic relationships and even a regrettable flirtation with bangs, Laura reveals how we can break down, rebuild and still find a way to laugh during life’s worst moments. Raw, real and darkly funny, Laura proves that there is always joy to be found even when life serves you its absolute worst: and that what doesn’t kill you really will make you hotter.
