Description

New York Times bestselling author Shane Dawson returns with another highly entertaining and uproariously funny essay collection, chronicling a mix of real life moments both extraordinary and mortifying, yet always full of heart. Shane Dawson shared some of his best and worst experiences in I Hate Myselfie, the critically-acclaimed book that secured his place as a gifted humorist and keen observer of millennial culture. Fans felt as though they knew him after devouring the New York Times, Publisher's Weekly, Los Angeles Times, and Wall Street Journal bestseller. They were right...almost. In this new collection of original personal essays, Shane goes even deeper, sharing never-before-revealed stories from his life, giving readers a no-holds-barred look at moments both bizarre and relatable, from cult-like Christian after-school activities, dressing in drag, and losing his virginity, to hiring a psychic, clashes with celebrities, and coming to terms with his bisexuality. Every step of the way, Shane maintains his signature brand of humor, proving that even the toughest breaks can be funny when you learn to laugh at yourself. This is Let's Pretend This Never Happened and Running With Scissors for the millennial generation: an inspiring, intelligent, and brutally honest collection of true stories by a YouTube sensation-turned one of the freshest new voices out there.

Reviews

Praise for I Hate Myselfie: "Though Shane is infamous for his biting wit and crude humor, I Hate Myselfie is as much heart as it is crass... [It] proves that laughing at yourself can help overcome even the most embarrassing experiences... Shane may 'hate his selfie,' but his millions of fans will love it." AccessHollywood.com "This book is a haven for difference in a sea of more of the same with YouTuber books. The essay approach really worked for the book." The Guardian
