Sure, but until our world becomes a technicolor paradise, what's the REAL way for people to get happy?

Avoiding catastrophe.

This parody of "The Book of Awesome" outlines one awful scenario after the next, to demonstrate how much worse life could really be. Whether it's a world where you finally meet your evil twin, the cancellation of Facebook, or the discovery of unicorns that forever alters society, you'll feel relieved you're only READING about it.

For ease of comprehension, the author lends her humble experiences to several topics, and leaves no stone of embarrassment unturned (not even the one where she had head lice as a grown adult).

To cover off a vast array of concerns, the book is sectioned off into highly relevant topics for mankind:

1. Self-Image
2. World Issues
3. Life Skills
4. Food and Drink
5. Society and You
6. Alternative Lifestyles
7. Stalking, Dating and Romance

Read it all at once or jump in when you're feeling blue.

Not that you'll feel "awesome" by the time you're finished...

...but overwhelming relief?

Highly probable.

And relief isn't far from happiness, is it? (Let's not split hairs)

DISCLAIMER: contains strong language and humor that some readers may find offensive.

Other works by this author:

"Year of the Chick:" Available now, this full-length novel is one woman's quest to find love within a year, all to avoid arranged marriage. There's edgy humor and there's heart, not to mention lots of family awkwardness, lots of gross guys, and cautionary Internet romance; you can't go wrong.

You know a book is going to be awesome when the author has you laughing the first line into the dedications. I downloaded the book after reading her awkward memoirs and it converted me to a full fledged fan. I cant wait for her first novel to finally be released.

Review by: Diane on Sep. 07, 2011 :
I loved this book! It made me laugh many times with its irreverent, down-to-earth humor. I read the Book of Awesome as well, but this one wins, hands down. Thanks for brightening my day.
