From critically acclaimed comedian Becky Lucas comes a funny, consoling and very candid collection of stories and essays about friends, enemies and figuring it out that establishes her as one of today's most original comedy writers.<br/><br/>There's no such thing as a perfect life, but there are perfectly hilarious moments. The best stories are often about the lowest points in our lives - the soul-crushing jobs, the bad boyfriends, the terrible holidays, the betrayals and heartbreaks. These are the stories I tell people to make them like me, but, more importantly, they've helped me learn how to like myself.<br/><br/>So this book is a collection of thankyous and acknowledgments:<br/><br/>• Thank you to an ex-lover who marvelled at the fact he could get hard with me, even though I wasn't up to his usual standard.<br/><br/>• Thank you to the coked-up real estate agent who, while lecturing me and my friend about the importance of travelling, fell down a flight of stairs.<br/><br/>• Thank you to the woman who approached me after a gig and told me she hoped her daughter wouldn't end up like me.<br/><br/>You've all taught me that you can't control who comes into your life or what happens to you, but you can decide just what it is you take from them.
