It Gets Worse A Collection of Essays

Shane Dawson — 2016

THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER New York Times bestselling author Shane Dawson returns with another highly entertaining and uproariously funny essay collection, chronicling a mix of real life moments both extraordinary and mortifying, yet always full of heart. Shane Dawson shared some of his best and worst experiences in I Hate Myselfie, the critically acclaimed book that secured his place as a gifted humorist and keen observer of millennial culture. Fans felt as though they knew him after devouring the New York Times, Publishers Weekly, Los Angeles Times, and Wall Street Journal bestseller. They were right… almost. In this new collection of original personal essays, Shane goes even deeper, sharing never-before-revealed stories from his life, giving readers a no-holds-barred look at moments both bizarre and relatable, from cult-like Christian after-school activities, dressing in drag, and losing his virginity, to hiring a psychic, clashes with celebrities, and coming to terms with his bisexuality. Every step of the way, Shane maintains his signature brand of humor, proving that even the toughest breaks can be funny when you learn to laugh at yourself. This is Let's Pretend This Never Happened and Running With Scissors for the millennial generation: an inspiring, intelligent, and brutally honest collection of true stories by a YouTube sensation-turned one of the freshest new voices out there.

I've never been one to read youtubers books, BUT because it was Shane, and I love Shane, I decided to give it a chance. Shane has a VERY peculiar humor that is not for everyone, but I personaly laughed so hard reading this book. I honestly really loved it. It was hilarious at times and very sad at others, but it always felt very real to me.

This was definetly better than I hate myselfie. I just feel like I got to know the REAL Shane. That might be because in this book he knew who the real Shane was and in the last one not. Does that makes sense? If you have read both you might get it. I absolutetly loved that the last chapter was written by his mom. It was just so heartwarming.
