About this listen
With his signature acerbic wit and hilarious voice, 20-something author, blogger, and entrepreneur Shane Burcaw is back with an essay collection about living a full life in a body that many people perceive as a tragedy. From anecdotes about first introductions where people patted him on the head instead of shaking his hand, to stories of passersby mistaking his able-bodied girlfriend for a nurse, Shane tackles awkward situations and assumptions with humor and grace.
On the surface, these essays are about day-to-day life as a wheelchair user with a degenerative disease, but they are actually about family, love, and coming of age.

WOW!! That 4 some odd hours went fast!
That's the end? Already? Those were the words I said when Audible said "Audible hopes you have enjoyed this program". This book was funny, engaging and thought provoking and had me so interested that it seemed like only an hour passed by! This is the first I have heard of Shane but will be looking to purchase his first book asap!

Hilarious and relatable!
10/10 for advocating for the real, daily lives of people who use wheelchairs and depend more on others for daily-life activities, all while sharing the relatable adventures of adolescents.

Frank and …
… I want to say frank and inspiring, but as Shane has said how sick he gets of being called inspiring, I’ll say heartening instead. Great follow up to his first memoir. I enjoyed hearing how Shane is living his life beyond his parents’ care.

Loved it!
Well written, with perfectly timed humour. I finished it in almost a day, and found myself wishing it was longer.
