I Hate Myselfie: A Collection of Essays by Shane Dawson

---

Marc Notes: Shane Dawson has always been an open book. From his first YouTube vlog back in 2008, to his feature film debut 'Not Cool', to a cover story in Variety magazine, Shane has documented his life thoroughly. In his memoir, fans finally get a chance to see the real Shane through personal stories that are at once humorous and heart-warming, self-deprecating and totally inspiring. Publisher Marketing: The book that more than 12 million YouTube subscribers have been waiting for! Shane Dawson's memoir features twenty original essays--uncensored yet surprisingly sweet. From his first vlog back in 2008 to his full-length film directorial debut "Not Cool," Shane Dawson has been an open book when it comes to documenting his life. But behind the music video spoofs, TMI love life details, and outrageous commentary on everything the celebrity and Internet world has the nerve to dish out is a guy who grew up in a financially challenged but loving home in Long Beach, California, and who suffered all the teasing and social limitations that arise when you're a morbidly obese kid with a pretty face, your mom is your best friend, and you can't get a date to save your life. In "I Hate Myselfie," Shane steps away from his larger-than-life Internet persona and takes us deep into the experiences of an eccentric and introverted kid, who by observing the strange world around him developed a talent that would inspire millions of fans. Intelligent, hilarious, heartbreaking, and raw, "I Hate Myselfie" is a collection of eighteen personal essays about how messy life can get when you're growing up and how rewarding it can feel when the clean-up is (pretty much) done.
