Overview

The paperback edition of Amanda Seales's wildly popular collection of sharp essays, poignant life advice, and no-holds-barred pearls of wisdom

Comedian, writer, actress, and social media star Amanda Seales is a force of nature who has fearlessly and passionately charted her own course through life and career.
