"It’s fucking great. She didn’t tell me it was gonna be fucking great!!! Figured… some cute essays… anecdotes… holy shit, though. Raw, intimate, hilarious, actually inspiring… what the fuck! Her upbringing reads like Flannery O’Connor or some shit!" –JON STEWART “Finished it in a single night. Funny, authentic, and unique. Love!” –JENNY LAWSON, bestselling author of Broken (In the Best Possible Way) “I Shouldn't Be Telling You This is a hilariously honest look at the real life of a person who is frigging out of control. This book is so jam-packed full of truths and unbelievable events that I swear to god it should be eight movies. Her story is incredibly moving and encouraging. It will make you feel more connected to women everywhere as you laugh your butt off.” –AMBER RUFFIN, actress, comedian, host of The Amber Ruffin Show, and bestselling author of You'll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey“This book is raw, insightful, and really fucking funny. It’s full of accidental life lessons, and stories so relatable that at times you’ll feel like you are reading your own diary—if your diary got punched up by a professional comic. This book will save you so much money on therapy, as you get to benefit from Chelsea’s second hand (but if you relate to it too much, you should probably also go to therapy).” –ASHLEY NICOLE BLACK, Emmy-award winning writer for Apple TV+ 's Ted Lasso"Devantez draws readers in with her conspiratorial voice and uproarious sense of humor." —Bustle"Incisive and witty. She has a brilliant command of tone and delivers an emotional punch alongside the laughs. A rich, thoughtful, laugh-out-loud memoir, Devantez’s debut is a book to devour in one sitting." —Booklist, starred review "Devantez excels at exploring the interiority of her mind while conjuring a colorful cast of characters." —BookPage “Funny, sad, overwhelming, and full of good intentions and sound advice.” —Kirkus Reviews  "Energetic and revealing, this title will surely please Devantez’s listeners and fans. Aficionados of tragicomic, gossip-tinged memoirs will like it too." —Library Journal
