Perfect for you if...

You appreciate self-deprecating humour and writers who don't take themselves seriously.
You enjoy memoirs that are genuinely funny rather than trying too hard to be relatable.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for a complete life story or seeking inspirational redemption arcs.
You prefer memoirs that maintain reverence for their subject matter.
You don't find humour in mundane childhood mishaps and social awkwardness.

About this book

Ann Hodgman is a funny lady. In this book, she explains how she got that way. But the book only goes up through sixth grade. After that, her life became so embarrassing that writing it down would have caused the pages to burst into flames.
