About this ebook
From nationally bestselling author, YouTube star, and Facebook Video sensation Laura Clery comes a collection of comedic essays that paint “an honest, complicated portrait of how your life can change” (SheKnows).
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 book, 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.

Been watching Laura Clery's videos for a few years now. We both had babies around the same time, and that was cool to follow also. Laughing about needing this and wanting that and perfecting this before the baby, or how life is after the baby. So, I felt this cool connection with her and her videos HAHA... After reading the first 30-something pages for free, I was hooked. Her high school story is similar to mine, drug use, drinking, peeing every where...There were actually so many similarities in her story as mine. It was cool to see her story transcribe and really know where she started and where she ended up in life. Awesome.

Let me be honest. I love this book so much. It's inspirational, and funny at the same time. I can imagine how hard your life was. But, well. I'm very glad that our lovely Laura didn't give up and is here for us. Thank you, Laura. I love you. Your book inspired me to keep on dreaming and work hard to achieve my dream. I had depression, I will work hard to get rid of this depression and stay positive! Oh and I have a rescued cat too, he's adorable, and he has been one of my morale support. 💕

Feels like Laura is sitting chatting to you over a coffee and telling you about her life, like a friend. Inspiring, emotional and funny throughout, and amazing to get to know more about "the funny woman with the square jaw" from Facebook. Absolutely loved it from start to finish and sad that it's ended. Truly hope there's another book. It has made me want to focus on my mental and physical health, as well as making me want to be a more focussed and determined person to get to where I want to be.
