Up close and personal.

I loved reading this book. I devoured it quickly. I loved learning about who Laura is and how she got to where she is. I honestly hope she writes another book because she is literally amazing

Laura's humor may click with you, and it may not. It did click in my case.
What I loved about this book? Although having a lot of f* words and other stuff in it, it made me think about life choices in general.

Clery manages to bring readers into her past experiences as a drug user, into her struggle and success into sobriety, and how she got into creating internet content. She’s a great story teller!

Was entertaining yet real throughout

I expected this book to be entertaining but I admired how honest Laura was. I prefer book that’s feel more real and life certainly isn’t all rainbows and unicorns. But not only did she explain that but we get to see her come out of this the other side and that just makes me appreciate her and her content so much more. Well done! Worth getting the audio and reading through it.

I liked this more than I thought I would. Laura Clery's life story is so far away from my own and it was tough to relate to it in the beginning. I was even irritated, thinking that she was somehow glorifying her shoplifting, drug using youth. But Clery is a clever storyteller. And even if I can't relate to the specific details of her personal story, I felt I could relate to many of the sentiments behind it. I actually never knew who she was before picking up this book (as chosen by a book club), and I don't particularly like her work, but I enjoyed reading this book as an insight into a life I've never lived, but with feelings similar to what I've experienced, in a strange way.
