THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
New York Times bestselling author, director, actor, and YouTube superstar 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, Publishers 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.

So the 5 star ratings you see here are all fake... These are all fans that are so into their asses that they just want to be noticed by this person... The book is not at all good... I have ACTUALLY taken the time to read it in print... And I can say I wouldn't waste my money for this. (This is in all honesty)

Reminds me of overhearing son with a group of friends laughing while he was talking. I got tears trying to keep face straight. Tears laughing at this mixed with cringing at bad language, obvious youthful lack of insight, lack of understanding of chemical reactions being translated to an entire definition of author's self understanding.

I downloaded the preview with somewhat low expectations, but by the end I
wanted to read more. I will give it to him that he has a way with words,
and though I find his humour incredibly cringy now his heartfelt moments
more than make up for it. I read this book in a single sitting after not
finishing a book for years if it's any inclination of how much I enjoyed it.
