From the comedian and New York Times bestselling author of Idiot, a new essay collection about divorce, dating and finding the funny even when your life is falling apart.

The world knows comedian and content creator Laura Clery for her hilariously unhinged characters, brutally honest storytelling and ability to find humour in places most of us wouldn’t dare look. But now, she’s facing a few things even she didn’t see coming: her seemingly rock-solid relationship crumbling into a very public, very painful divorce (yikes!). Becoming a single parent to two children, one of whom has significant special needs (oof!).

Worst of all? She even started dating again (ew!). But instead of pretending like her life couldn’t be better, Laura’s putting it all on the table: mess, madness and middle fingers included. And this time, she’s writing her own happy ending.

A survivor of addiction, toxic relationships and even a regrettable flirtation with bangs, Laura reveals how we can break down, rebuild and still find a way to laugh during life’s worst moments. Raw, real and darkly funny, Laura proves that there is always joy to be found even when life serves you its absolute worst: and that what doesn’t kill you really will make you hotter. Divorce & Separation Relationships Funny Comedy

Loved it! Well done LC. It’s funny and awful in equal measures. One of my favourites this year so far.

I absolutely love the little playful jokes Laura makes even in the face of absolute horror. I first really learned about the 12 step program from her and this book also gave some enlighteningly radical insight that I'm grateful for. Cher as higher power? Iconic. Also, having followed her for a few years now I still was horrified hearing some of the details of her story. Girl, that's some serious self restraint not sharing all that. Anyway go have a listen, she's giving a glorious performance.

This micro memoir is a story of survival, self discovery, feminine rage and above all, feminine strength. It is deeply honest, incredibly raw and I genuinely think every woman should read it.

Having read Laura’s previous books, I chose the audiobook because I love hearing her narrate her own story. Hearing this one in her own words is something else entirely. What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Hotter is an absorbing account of the human story behind the headlines, told with honesty, vulnerability and even humour. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys memoirs, but especially to anyone going through a difficult season in their own life.

Inspiring!
