The world knows comedian and content creator Laura Clery for her hilariously unhinged characters, brutally honest storytelling, and ability to find humor 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 (oof!), one of whom has significant special needs. 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, abuse, 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--whether it's waking up to find your career's work wiped from the internet, your date begging you to take a magic pill for your boobs, or getting your water shut off in the middle of bathtime. 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. You might just have to get through a few disasters first
