Synopsis from Goodreads: By the time she was in her late twenties, Tara Schuster was a sought-after TV executive who had worked with Jon Stewart and launched Key & Peele to viral superstardom. By all appearances, she had mastered being a grown-up. But beneath that veneer of success, she was a chronically anxious, self-medicating mess. No one knew that her road to adulthood had been paved with depression, anxiety, and shame, owing in large part to her minimally parented upbringing. She realized she'd hit rock bottom when she drunk-dialed her therapist pleading for help.
Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies is the story of Tara's path to re-parenting herself and becoming a "ninja of self-love." This is the book Tara wished someone had given her and it is the book many of us desperately need: a candid, funny, practical guide to growing up and learning to love yourself in a non-throw-up-in-your-mouth-it's-so-cheesy way.

What I thought:
I had heard the name Tara Schuster, but really didn't know anything about her. I asked for this book based off the title and a recommendation from Sarah's Bookshelves Live. I really liked the inside look on everything she had gone through. Tara has been through some traumatic things, but looks back through it through a lens of humor. Her sprinkles of positivity throughout are inspiring and she provides good steps for trying to reach your goals. I had heard this book described as "A self-help book for people who don't like the glittery, preachy self help books" and I can say that is totally accurate. Next step: Buy a journal. |
