Anna Schott has always had an appetite: for love, for reinvention, for a life that feels bigger than the one she was handed. What she didn't have was a rulebook. Or a filter. Across a series of bold, irreverent essays, she traces the messy, exhilarating path of a woman learning to want out loud-through disastrous relationships, delicious rebellions, moments of sharp clarity, and the kind of mistakes that leave a mark (and a good story). There are nights that go too far, mornings that come too soon, and the constant, electric question: what if she just... didn't behave? As her world expands into a kaleidoscope of risk, reinvention, heartbreak, and hard-won self-knowledge, Anna discovers that audacity isn't something you're born with. It's something you practice. Again and again. Usually the hard way. Because growing into yourself isn't neat. It's chaotic, intoxicating, occasionally humiliating-and completely necessary. And sometimes? The life you're craving is waiting on the other side of the thing you were told not to want.

Anna Schott is a memoirist, essayist, and creator of the beloved Substack She’s Gone Chilaquiles, where her fiercely funny, emotionally astute writing has attracted a devoted readership. Blending razor-sharp humour with surprising tenderness, her work explores marriage, motherhood, appetite, ambition, aging, art, and the strange theater of ordinary life with a voice that feels both wildly original and instantly familiar.Publisher Alisa Kennedy Jones has called her 'the midlife woman's answer to David Sedaris', though readers of Schott’s work quickly discover a sensibility entirely her own: irreverent, observant, deeply humane, and unafraid of absurdity.A classically trained musician turned street performer, Schott writes with enormous affection for humanity’s messier impulses and everyday contradictions. She is also the owner of an objectively unreasonable number of brown pants and lives by the motto: 'Gluttony is its own reward.'She lives in California with her husband James, their son Jesse, and an extremely good dog named Marvin, all of whom regularly appear in her work, whether they consent to it or not.
