Publisher Description
From nationally bestselling author, YouTube star, and Facebook Video sensation Laura Clery comes a collection of comedic essays that paint “an honest, complicated portrait of how your life can change” (SheKnows).
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.
Customer Reviews
Wonderful read, hilarious and inspirational
I highly recommend the read. It is written in good spirit, it is funny whilst lightly teaching important life lessons!
Amazing
Laura is a comedy genius. I read the book with her voice in my head so now I’m listening to the audiobook and it sounds exactly like it did in my head. GOLD STAR
Idiot
I found it difficult to get on with the fairly vapid Californian aspect to it and mentality. It was tho full of lots of great stories and amusing meetings but I sort of felt like I was reading a story about a life that hadn’t lived that much really. Or maybe the heavier elements were washed over more because of the humour used. I didn’t feel I got to the crux of what the experience really felt like descriptively other than “it was bad and I knew it had to eventually change.” It didn’t feel like it was baring all and was still in some regard hiding about important truths. There were also some great moments of realisation.
