Everything Is Awful: And Other Observations

Everything Is Awful: And Other Observations

From the break-out star of BuzzFeed and the Peopleâ€™s Choice Award-winning comedian behind the web series â€œWhine About Itâ€ and â€œTo Be Honestâ€ comes a collection of hilariously anguished essays chronicling awful moments from his life so far, the humiliations of being an adult, and other little indignities.

Matt Bellassai has no idea what heâ€™s doing. Well, to be fair, he did become semi-Internet famous by getting drunk at work, making him a socially-acceptableâ€”nayâ€”professional alcoholic. Heâ€™s got some things figured out. But the rest is all just a terrible, disgusting mess.

This is Mattâ€™s book. Just to clarify, though, it is absolutely not a memoir; Matt is far too young to have done anything worth remembering (though he did win an actual Peopleâ€™s Choice Award for his BuzzFeed web series, â€œWhine About It,â€ which is pretty good, if you ask his mother). This is also most certainly not a book of advice; he is too woefully ill-prepared for life to offer anything in the way of counsel (though that wonâ€™t stop him from talking). Call this a collection of awful moments that led to his grumbling, blundering adulthoodâ€”a chronicle of little indignities that, when taken together, amount to a life of hilarious anguish.

With keen wit and plenty of self-deprecation, Matt reveals how hard it is to shed his past as the Midwestâ€™s biggest nerd, that one time a taquito nearly murdered him at his brotherâ€™s surprise birthday party, and the time he came out to his friends and family (the closet was a bit messy). Matt also wrestles with the humiliations of adulthood, like giving up on love in New York City, living alone with no one to heat his microwave dinners, and combating the inner voice that tells him to say aloud all the things the rest of us are smart enough to keep to ourselves.

You probably donâ€™t need this book, but letâ€™s be honestâ€”you do. Since youâ€™re already reading, you might as well pull up a chair, grab your glass(es) of wine, and enjoy.
