Book Overview
From YouTube star and Facebook Video sensation Laura Clery comes a collection of comedic essays in the vein of We Are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby and You'll Grow Out of It by Jessi Klein.
Laura Clery makes a living by sharing inappropriate comedy sketches with millions of strangers on the Internet. She writes songs about her anatomy, talks trash about her one-eyed rescue pug, and sexually harasses her husband, Stephen. And it pays the bills Now, in her first-ever book, Laura recounts how she went from being a dangerously impulsive, broke, unemployable, suicidal, cocaine-addicted narcissist, crippled by fear and hopping from one toxic romance to the next.to a more-happy-than-not, somewhat rational, meditating, vegan yogi with good credit, a great marriage, a fantastic career, and four unfortunate-looking rescue animals. Still, above all, Laura remains an amazingly talented, adorable, and vulnerable, self-described.Idiot. With her signature brand of offbeat, no-holds-barred humor, Idiot introduces you to a wildly original--and undeniably relatable--new voice.

It's always great to be clean
Derived From Web , Aug 1, 2020
I liked reading that they both became clean and sober. Honestly, I believe that is the most important part of my life. If you take your feelings away, then how do you really exist? I have a lot of addicts and it's not just cocaine or alcohol, and seem to be so miserable and dependent on everyone else around them.

Laura clery book !
Derived From Web , Jul 27, 2020
This book finally came in it was late like three times. And when it came, the cover was dirty, but I cleaned it with a hand sanitizing wipe and was good as new. I have been watching Laura's videos on fb for some time now and she is very beautiful and funny. I do, yes, recommend this book. Women around the world have to support one another instead of being envious to another. Let's support each other women out of their. Just wanted to write that.

Well done!

Thank you for sharing life after addiction with you! For reasons, I tend to never understand these books, they are drugalogs and drunkalogs. This is the first book I shared where you read the life you had during addiction and after!! Now all I have to find all the stuff that you have been missing on social media!

I've been reading this book for years, but I kept thinking of my bestfriend, Melissa, she was a drug addict not long ago, but she got clean and kicking ads at life! Makes me so happy I wish I could tell you my whole story with her, because I have never been this way in life, but I've never been clean, but I've been sober for a year, but I've never been sober, but I've been so, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,, I, I, I, I, I

So Good!
Derived From Web , Jun 16, 2020
Have seen the author on YouTube and Facebook and while she makes me laugh, it is not a guarantee of her writing skills. I was really pleased to learn that she indeed writes well and that she has such an uplifting and meaningful story to tell. I really enjoyed reading this book, enjoyed it in one sitting!

Enjoyed it!
Derived From Web , Feb 17, 2020
This book is funny. Until someone posted a video of her, I did not know who she was until someone from FB started a video of her, then I binge-watching the rest of her videos. I am a new mom, so I could relate to the new mom videos, hilarious. If she is funny enough in the videos, then she 'll be funny here too. Surprisingly, it is not just funny, it is also inspiring. I have truly enjoyed it!

Not worth it - from a fan of Laura
Derived From Web , Jan 30, 2020
I really wanted to like this book, but it is horrible. It is genuinely bad and horribly written. I feel bad saying it, as I love her instagram comedy, but I won 't lie about a book just because I like someone's viral content. I paid for this book so that I finished it, it took me well past the 75% mark to be mildly interesting. Her words about addiction and her thoughts about AA, in the end, are powerful, but not worth reading the other 75%.

Warning-- Sudden outbursts of laughter!
Derived From Web , Oct 20, 2019
I loved reading this book ! It took me a few days to read it just the way I saw it. There I fell, I laughed, I smiled. I even found myself saying outloud Awwwwwws A lot! Laura : I love you! I'm a huge fan of the show. I personally suffer from depression and her videos are better than any antidepressants out there! When I feel down, she can really make my day! She's a great friend to me, even though she doesn't even know me lol... I also recommend this book to anyone dealing with sobriety or sobriety. It is truly an amazing read! I enjoyed reading it on the bus and having people on parts laughing outloud and having people stare at me!!! People even said, WOW, sounds like a great read! They said that they would check it out. It is now passed to all my coworkers because they all saw my reactions on reading it. '' Ty Laura, you are the best! Hello! ''

I read this book from cover to cover and was not impressed. The writing is really good, but the stories just don't make me laugh.
