Description

From nationally bestselling author, YouTube star, and Facebook Video sensation Laura Clery comes a collection of comedic essays that paint “an honest, complicated portrait of how your life can change” (SheKnows).

Laura Clery makes a living by sharing inappropriate comedy sketches with millions of strangers on the internet. She writes songs about her anatomy, talks trash about her one-eyed rescue pug, and sexually harasses her husband, Stephen. And it pays the bills!

Now, in her first-ever book, Laura recounts how she went from being a dangerously impulsive, broke, unemployable, suicidal, cocaine-addicted narcissist, crippled by fear and hopping from one toxic romance to the next…to a more-happy-than-not, somewhat rational, meditating, vegan yogi with good credit, a great marriage, a fantastic career, and four unfortunate-looking rescue animals. Still, above all, Laura remains an amazingly talented, adorable, and vulnerable, self-described…Idiot.

With her signature brand of offbeat, no-holds-barred humor, Idiot introduces you to a wildly original—and undeniably relatable—new voice.

    I loved this book. You can clearly hear her voice and comedic style through the whole thing. She doesn’t shy away from owning her own part in the negative crap in her life and is very honest with an inspiring message. I recommend this book for anyone needing a laugh, self reflection or trying to stay on their own path (sobriety, celebrity or otherwise).
  • Stayed up late for this one

    Loved the comedy in here and all the story telling, couldn’t quit reading. Only thing I felt like it was missing was that she didn’t acknowledge that it was God that helped her through all the hard times and brought her to success!

    There is nothing perfect in this world but sometimes perfect endings happen through the imperfect. I can relate, we all can...to this voice of human experience through dark moments, pain, shame, self doubt, lighter moments, love, empathy, courage, laughter and a little bit of kindness. Laura can tell a story. A true story! ❤️

    I started watching Laura years ago, I came across a ridiculous video of Laura’s face photoshopped onto baby wearing a watermelon, “I’m about to do the watermelon dance” it was over for me, that’s when I binged I’m sure every single videos shes ever posted but I never really looked into her past, just followed her and enjoyed her and Stephens videos. I was looking for something to read, and why not read a book by her called “Idiot” it’s gotta be hilarious right?!? Yep! It’s Raw and emotional and funny and real. I didn’t want to put it down!!! I found myself laughing out loud 30 seconds later bawling my eyes out! It’s worth every penny and I CANNOT wait for her next book 😍😍😍
  • A must read!

    I literally purchased this book today and I finished it already, I couldn’t put it down. The similarities it had to my life, my road to sobriety and being with my husband on the road to his was just so.. wow. I could relate to so much of it. It’s a must read!
  • Thank you
