{"product_id":"save-yourself-cameron-esposito-9781538701362","title":"Save Yourself","description":"\u003cb\u003eThis \"hilarious and honest\" bestselling memoir from a rising comedy star tackles issues of gender, sexuality, feminism, and the Catholic childhood that prepared her for a career as an outspoken lesbian comedian (Abby Wambach).\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eCameron Esposito wanted to be a priest and ended up a stand-up comic. Now she would like to tell the whole queer as hell story. Her story. Not the sidebar to a straight person's rebirth-she doesn't give a makeover or plan a wedding or get a couple back together. This isn't a queer tragedy. She doesn't die at the end of this book, having finally decided to kiss the girl. It's the sexy, honest, bumpy, and triumphant dyke's tale her younger, wasn't-allowed-to-watch-Ellen self needed to read. Because there was a long time when she thought she wouldn't make it. Not as a comic, but as a human. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e SAVE YOURSELF is full of funny and insightful recollections about everything from coming out (at a Catholic college where sexual orientation wasn't in the nondiscrimination policy) to how joining the circus can help you become a better comic (so much nudity) to accepting yourself for who you are-even if you're, say, a bowl cut-sporting, bespectacled, gender-nonconforming child with an eye patch (which Cameron was). Packed with heart, humor, and cringeworthy stories anyone who has gone through puberty, fallen in love, started a career, or had period sex in Rome can relate to, Cameron's memoir is for that timid, fenced-in kid in all of us-and the fearless stand-up yearning to break free. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eINDIE BESTSELLER\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWASHINGTON POST\u003c\/i\u003e BESTSELLER\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSEATTLE TIMES \u003c\/i\u003eBESTSELLER\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eONE OF \u003ci\u003eBUSTLE\u003c\/i\u003e'S MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF MARCH\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cameron Esposito\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1538701367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538701362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grand Central Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Cameron Esposito","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043231789311,"sku":"9781538701362","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d604e0d-15b9-43eb-b1af-559847b2ee2e.jpg?v=1684965977","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/save-yourself-cameron-esposito-9781538701362","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
