I'm Fine…And Other Lies
288 pages, 2017
Here are all the stories and mistakes I’ve made that were way too embarrassing to tell on stage in front of an actual audience, but thanks to not-so-modern technology, you can read about them here, so I don’t have to risk having your judgmental eye contact crush my self-esteem.
This book contains some delicious schadenfreude in which I recall such humiliating debacles as breaking my shoulder while trying to impress a guy, coming very close to spending my life in a Guatemalan prison and having my lacerated ear sewn back on by a deaf guy after losing it in a torrid love affair.
In addition to hoarding mortifying situations that’ll make you feel way better about your choices, I’ve also accumulated a lot of knowledge from therapists, psychotherapists, and psychopaths, which can probably help you avoid making the same mistakes I’ve made.
Think of this book as everything you’d want from the Internet all in one place, except without the constant distractions of ads, online shopping, and porn.
