Story
As a young boy sitting at a sewing machine in home economics class, Craig Conover had no idea that this hobby would one day change his life for the better. Growing up in Delaware, Conover experienced cruel bullying and suffered from severe anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder. But while law school in Charleston seemed to provide the direction he needed, Conover spent years searching for meaning and passion in life. The chance to become a cast member on Bravo’s Southern Charm promised to provide that.

Story
If you would have told a young John Stamos flipping burgers at his dad’s fast-food joint that one day he’d be a household name and that, at the height of his success, he’d be living alone, divorced, with no kids, high on a cocktail of forgetting, he might’ve asked, “You want fries with that?”

Story
The year 2020 was going to be the best year of Stassi’s life. Besides getting engaged and feeling like she was on top of the world career-wise, she bought her first house and was planning her dream Italian wedding. The future showed so much freaking promise—until it all went to hell. Stassi may not be perfect—she may have made some (major) mistakes—but she does feel like she has some insight (and plenty of hilarious tales) about getting knocked up, called out, and learning from what went wrong.

Publisher's Summary
This witty and engaging collection of essays from the charismatic star of Southern Charm offers rip-roaring stories and tongue-in-cheek advice on everything from relationships to travel to popular culture and beyond. Perfect for fans of authors as wide-ranging as Andy Cohen to Tucker Max.
Shep Rose, star of Southern Charm and owner of Shep Gear, shares this irreverent and relatable collection of lessons and anecdotes about living an untamed, genuine life, raising hell yet having fun along the way. With his signature endearingly snarky voice, he explores topics as varied as the trials and tribulations of being a late bloomer, the ins and outs of ghosting, how to talk about politics without resorting to blows, the dos and don’ts of getting drunk abroad, and much more.
Shep has caroused around the world, from Hong Kong to Dubai to the mean streets of Charleston, and the fact that he hasn’t been the subject of a Locked Up Abroad episode defies all logic. Average Expectations is a chronicle of one lucky SOB and the exploits that got him where he is today, with advice and stories that will help unleash your inner rabble-rouser, inspire you to live an untamed life, and remind you that at the end of the day, life is all about having fun, having a laugh, and, most important of all, being in on the joke.

Yuck yuck yuck....Completely Tone Deaf for 2021
If you're interested in listening to 7 hours of textbook white privilege read in monotone, this is the book for you. For someone who claims "woke"-ness for his shameful treatment of others in the past, the author's unashamed flaunting of wealth is only paralleled by his misogynistic descriptions of accounts with women. The author sprinkles in quotes from other literary works which is comical in juxtaposition with his attempts to describe his experiences with some philosophical reverence, which only comes off as pretention. This line really sums up the vibe of the book, "I also hooked up with a Texas girl named Amber, who I liked mainly because she listened to all my stories and didn't interject with annoying questions". And we can't forget, "Sex is like math. You add the bed, subtract the clothes, divide the legs and pray you don't multiply", I've only taken away one thing from this book and it's that I will do everything in my power for my own sons to turn out nothing like Shep Rose.

Great listen!
Throughly enjoyed listening to the world through the Shep Rose lens! Felt like I got a more broad understanding of who he is, which only further proves you only really see so much of someone, even on reality TV. The stories are great, and loved hearing about all his travel, and even at points a political view or two! Great Job Shep !!
