About this ebook

“Whitney Cummings has written a book about being, well, not fine—and what to do when you find yourself with brutal anxiety and a co-dependency disorder; all in her trademark wit, humor, and honesty. This book, however, is fine as hell.”—Sophia Amoruso, author of #Girlboss

“The funniest cry for help you'll read this year.”—BJ Novak

Well, well, well. Look at you, ogling my book page....I presume if you’re reading this it means you either need more encouragement to buy it or we used to date and you’re trying to figure out if you should sue me or not.
 
Here are all the stories and mistakes I’ve made that were way too embarrassing to tell on stage in front of an actual audience; but thanks to not-so-modern technology, you can read about them here so I don’t have to risk having your judgmental eye contact crush my self-esteem. This book contains some delicious schadenfreude in which I recall such humiliating debacles as breaking my shoulder while trying to impress a guy, coming very close to spending my life in a Guatemalan prison, and having my lacerated ear sewn back on by a deaf guy after losing it in a torrid love affair. In addition to hoarding mortifying situations that’ll make you feel way better about your choices, I’ve also accumulated a lot of knowledge from therapists, psychotherapists, and psychopaths, which can probably help you avoid making the same mistakes I’ve made. Think of this book as everything you’d want from the Internet all in one place, except without the constant distractions of ads, online shopping, and porn.
 
I’m not sure what else to say to say, except that you should buy it if you want to laugh and learn how to stop being crazy. And if we used to date, see you in court.

Ratings and reviews

I've always thought this fish is the single most over-rated creature currently in existence ... and this book proves that thesis conclusively. Dull, plain, not-at-all funny and pathetically needy, exactly like the author.

Unexpectedly deflective got this book read it in parts. I still think crying is an unexplained reaction in some situations never a solution. The real rawness baffled me I didnt get the points maybe connected to an explaination. Drawing from my own life its best to move forward and try to prevent past mistakes. Learn from the past but celebrate the blessings life gives because Good does win over evil in theory. I dont know the exact points it wss very well documented like a journal of learning curves. Take aways be an adult live in the moments and Be better then the person one at times compares to themselves. That was what I got from it I think.

Interesting. Thought it would be all comedy but it got pretty intense in some places. Better than I expected it to be. Amazing how a person with so many emotional problems could achieve so much.
