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.

I did go into this book knowing who Laura Clery is. I've been watching her videos for awhile and they always crack me up. I knew she had came out with a book well because she would post videos about it and it seemed pretty cool but I just never gave it a try. I finally have and I did the audiobook because to have her read it and do some accents for the people would be better than just me reading it. Man was I in for a shocking, I knew the book had to deal with her life and what she has overcome to get to where she is now but I had no clue it was like that. At the beginning I was laughing as her childhood is thing any kids did but once she got to to point where she starting to travel and her addictions came in I was shocked with all she has gone though. It's nice to see how she had overcome the obstacles and continues to live her best life.
I give this book an over all 3.5/4 start rating because unfortunately I know its a life story there were just some parts I found myself zoning in and out of.
