Smart and funny reminds me of the best of Nora Ephron GUARDIAN

Writer, actor, and director Desiree Akhavan shares the stories she was told to shut up abouthilarious, horny, heartbreaking tales of a life in pursuit of art and love.

When it comes to shame, award-winning filmmaker and director Desiree Akhavan knows what shes talking about whether its winning the title of The Ugliest Girl at her high school, acquiescing to the nose job she was lovingly forced into by her Iranian parents, or losing her virginity to a cokehead she met in a support group for cutters. In Youre Embarrassing Yourself, Desiree goes to the rawest places: the lifelong struggle to be at peace in ones body, the search for home as the child of immigrants and the anxious underbelly of artistic ambition.

With all the humour and vulnerability of Jennette McCurdy and the warmth and nuance of Jia Tolentino, Youre Embarrassing Yourself is equal parts funny and heartfelt, charting an artists journey from outcast to overnight indie darling, to (somewhat) self-aware adult woman. The result is a book that captures the pathetic lows and euphoric highs of our youth, and how to survive them, in a voice that is unmistakably, unapologetically Desirees.

In Youre Embarrassing Yourself, Desiree Akhavan takes us on a journey of self-discovery, navigating through family pressure and peer relationships with a unique blend of humour and vulnerability. Her autobiography is a collection of essays that delve into the highs and lows of youth, the struggle for self-acceptance, and the relentless pursuit of artistic ambition.
