What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Hotter
From the comedian and New York Times bestselling author of Idiot, a new essay collection about divorce, dating and finding the funny even when your life is falling apart.
The world knows comedian and content creator Laura Clery for her hilariously unhinged characters, brutally honest storytelling, and ability to find humour in places most of us wouldnât dare look. But now, sheâs facing a few things even she didnât see coming: her seemingly rock-solid relationship crumbling into a very public, very painful divorce (yikes!). Becoming a single parent to two children, one of whom has significant special needs (oof!). Worst of all? She even started dating again (ew!). But instead of pretending like her life couldnât be better, Lauraâs putting it all on the table: mess, madness and middle fingers included. And this time, sheâs 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 lifeâs worst moments - whether itâs waking up to find your careerâs work wiped from the internet, your date begging you to take a magic pill for your boobs, or turning forty and having your life less together than ever before. 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 doesnât kill you really will make you hotter.
