About this listen
From YouTube star and Facebook Video sensation Laura Clery comes a collection of comedic essays in the vein of We Are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby and You’ll Grow Out of It by Jessi Klein.
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 audiobook, 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.

With heart-racing urgency and unflinching honesty, Jenkins takes you inside the grips of addiction and the desperate decisions it breeds. She is a born storyteller who lived an incredible story, from blackmail by an ex-boyfriend to a soul-shattering deal with a drug dealer, and her telling brims with suspense and unexpected wit. But the true surprise is her path to recovery. Tiffany breaks through the stigma and silence to offer hope and inspiration to anyone battling the disease - whether it’s a loved one or themselves.

Story
Creator, mother, lover, and social media phenomenon Tova Leigh explores what the hell you are supposed to do when you find yourself living a life you don't remember signing up for. I was bored, angry, tired, and sad. I felt all alone yet I had nothing to complain about. I had a good job, a husband who wasn't shagging his assistant, three children who apart from being the occasional a**holes were pretty good kids; a house, a dog, and everything else we are told as little girls we should aspire to. But inside, I was growing restless.

With seven kids between them, Cat and Nat know a thing or two about the way motherhood turns your life upside down. Fiercely committed to dismantling the pressure to be perfect, they’ve connected with their audience by sharing their completely real take on the stress, guilt, and joy of being a mom. One might even say they’ve made a brand of oversharing. In their first book, they shared short dispatches and advice from the trenches. Now, Cat and Nat have invited the legion of moms who love them to share their own deepest, darkest parenting secrets.

Editorial Review
Discover how Laura Clery overcame poverty, lack of skills, and a cocaine addiction to thrive as a successful married woman who adopts rescue animals, practices yoga, and maintains a vegan lifestyle. Idiot is a collection of essays on how Laura Clery traded in her old life for a new one. Her accounts go into gritty but frank details about everything from addiction to domestic violence. Yet somehow she manages to find the humour in every situation and shares her stories in a relatable, inspiring way. To add to the realness of Idiot, this Audible audiobook is narrated by Laura Clery herself. With a clear voice and chatty, upbeat tone, Laura’s narration is less like a performance and more like hearing a friend share shocking but side-splittingly funny stories about her life over a coffee. Yet Idiot is not Laura’s first brush with acclaim. Prior to creating this title, she built up a following by posting comedy sketches on Facebook and YouTube every day. All told, she has over two billion views and millions of followers. Within just months of Idiot’s release date, Clery was nominated for an Audie Award in the Humor category. This title maintains impressively high ratings and has become a favourite for many.
