Congratulations. You've found the bottom of the barrel.
Most books try to inspire you. They want to whisk you away to a land of wonder, or teach you how to manifest a life that doesn't smell like microwave ramen and dying dreams.
This is not one of those books.
READ THIS OR DON'T is the story of Daisy Waterfront-a woman worn down by the largely unrewarding life of the writer. It's a novel for anyone who has ever looked at a Best Seller list and felt stabbing pains in their heart. It's for the word-smiths who spend more time drowning in rejection than dollar-dollar bills, yo.
Why should you buy it? Honestly, you probably shouldn't. But if you're a struggling creative, this book is a gift; a gift you'll probably try to re-gift, only to have it fly back at you like a warped boomerang. It is so spectacularly abysmal, so aggressively cynical, and so profoundly hopeless that it will make your own sh*tty struggles feel utterly triumphant.
Inside, you will find:
- Fresh, steaming piles of schadenfreude served on a bed of literary failure.
- A protagonist who has replaced her unique voice with deep frown-lines and fresh crow's feet.
- The realization that the lighted candle on the windowsill of your dreams is actually just a fire hazard.
Stop trying to be a genius. Stop trying to crush it. Come sit in the dirt with Daisy and realize that the view from the bottom isn't actually that bad-it's just oddly damp.
Read this. Or don't. Daisy Waterfront truly, deeply, does not care.
