"From the irreverent author of Tacky, a warts-and-all tour of the bad habits that make Rax King who she is. With Rax King's brash and crass humor and trademark millennial self-loathing, comes a new collection of personal essays, each unpacking bad behavior. In "Proud Alcoholic Stock," she examines her parents' unwavering dedication to Alcoholics Anonymous and the texture her family history has lent to her own poorly executed sobriety. "Shoplifting from Brandy Melville" is a lighthearted look at - what else? - shoplifting from Brandy Melville, one of Rax's few remaining indulgences now that she doesn't drink. From being a bad waitress to taking uppers, from an obsession with Neopets to lying for no discernable reason, these seventeen essays approach debauchery with emotional intelligence, kindness and-most importantly-humor."--
