About this ebook

“Shukert's sharp comic turns careen smack into the middle of our hearts."
— Los Angeles Times

 

Everything Is Going to Be Great, is performer, playwright, comedian, and author Rachel Shukert’s hilarious memoir of traveling through Europe in her twenties. She chronicles her youthful navigation through the haphazard fun and debauchery of new freedoms, and the growing pains that ultimately accompany “adulthood.” Fans of Sloane Crosley and David Sedaris are going to love Shulkert’s story, and her sharp, smart humor.

Ratings and reviews

I got tired of it fast. It had some attention-grabbing bits right at the start but went on with more of the same, and never pulled me in. I didn't finish it.
