You'll feel 20-32% better about your own life after reading The Amy Binegar-Kimmes-Lyle Book of Failures.
From #1 best-selling humorist Amy Lyle comes a laugh-out-loud collection of painfully awkward, wildly relatable, and delightfully disastrous moments that prove failure is not only survivable-it's hilarious.
Amy unpacks 45 years of missteps, from mistaking a freeway flagger's wave for flirtation (I Was Not Talking to You) to surviving suburban cults and suspicious cat disappearances (In the Neighborhood). You'll cringe, cackle, and possibly cry-laugh as she recounts public parenting meltdowns, snoring husband rage, and calls from her best friend whose OB-GYN once declared her too clean.
If you love Jenny Lawson, Samanta Irby, and Nora Ephron, or just enjoy laughing at life's ridiculous moments, this book is for you.
Media Praise & Features:
This #1 bestseller has been spotlighted in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Northside Woman, Points North Magazine, Forsyth County News, and featured on TV shows including Atlanta & Company and The Kelly Show.
