"An absolute treasure." -- New York Times Book Review"An extraordinary book. Incredibly moving and beautifully written." -- Jay McInerney"Humane and generous...Shocking, funny, and sometimes shockingly funny. A real treasure." -- Boston Globe"By turns comic, honest, and riveting," -- Publishers Weekly"A candid, entertaining memoir... A spirited narrative of a hard-won coming-of-age." -- Kirkus Reviews"Years ago Dominick Dunne called Steven Gaines 'a born storyteller.' If anything, we now know Gaines was meant to write his own powerful, heart-wrenching, and funny life story. I could not put it down." -- Steven Petrow, The Washington Post"This is a memoir for anyone who loves Paddy Chayefsky and Hanya Yanigahara. Steven Gaines has turned his considerable journalistic talents onto his younger self, writing a lyrical, wry and precisely excavated book." -- Carl Swanson, New York Magazine"Gaines' readers accompany him on this heart wrenching, funny, ultimately triumphant journey." -- Bay Area Reporter"A poignant and funny book that proves it does get better." -- Joy Behar, The View
