Editorial reviews

Laura Clery carved a unique way to viral stardom: she made a name for herself not on YouTube or Instagram, but on Facebook. Since then, millions of fans have found themselves enamoured with her off-beat and ultra-honest style of comedy and now, you can hear more of her absurd musings in this delightful essay collection. Listeners have rated this book nearly five stars in every single category for a good reason — it’s impossible to get enough of her in-your-face, unabashed comedy.

But it’s not all for laughs: Clery gets real, delving into her past as a narcissistic cocaine addict with no money and no hope for the future. Narrating in her own unique voice, she shares how she overcame these struggles to become a vegan yogi, wife, writer, internet sensation and mother of some rather unfortunate-looking rescue animals...including a one-eyed pig.

Publisher's Summary

From YouTube star and Facebook Video sensation Laura Clery comes a collection of comedic essays in the vein of We Are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby and You’ll Grow Out of It by Jessi Klein.

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 audiobook, 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.

AH-FREAKING-MAZING

every single second of every minute of this incredible story had me laughing, crying, completely in all my feelings. as someone who is now living sober and still struggles occasionally with the temptations of going back to addiction and bad behaviours around addiction, this was truly moving for me, I know I can move forward with my life in happiness and success even after a bad day. WOW just WOW. can't say enough how amazing this book is and how much I loved it.
