A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. From writer, director Cazzie David comes a series of acerbic, darkly funny essays about anxiety, social media, misanthropy, and growing up in a wildly eccentric family. For Cazzie David, the world is one big trap door leading to death and despair and social phobia. From shame spirals caused by hookups to panic attacks about being alive and everyone else having to be alive too, David chronicles her life's most chaotic moments with wit, bleak humor, and a mega-dose of self-awareness. In No One Asked for This, David provides readers with a singular but ultimately relatable tour through her mind, as she explores existential anxiety, family dynamics, and the utterly modern dilemma of having your breakup displayed on the Internet. With pitch-black humor resonant of her father, comedy legend Larry David, and topics that speak uniquely to generational malaise, No One Asked for This is the perfect companion for when you don't really want a companion."Blisteringly honest...kind of like if a David Sedaris book was written by an anxiety-ridden millennial who grew up in Hollywood."-Entertainment Weekly "Cazzie David is the delicious antidote to the poison of basic influencer culture. This book will make all misanthropes feel seen and loved-well, seen and tolerated."-Diablo Cody, screenwriter and author of Candy Girl.

Beautifully honest and bravely naive

I recently bought this book from my local book shop and it was so cringe that I couldn't put it down. Read it in a day. Praying for this isn't the last time Cazzie puts down the vape pen and opens up her computer to write her thoughts in a beautifully pretentious and unfiltered collection of short stories

Such an interesting read!!!

Netgalley Arc I really enjoyed this book. Even taking away her parents being a celebrity and all that entails, I really enjoyed listening to her anxiety and depression. As in, I could see myself in many of her situations. She speaks about her father Larry David, being on set with him and not feeling a part of each side she was on. Her mother was very pro planet and I could see how the way she did things was based upon what she had learned as a child. There also was a a couple of chapters on her well known famous ex boyfriend, which I liked that she never named a name, but just spoke about what the breakup looked like on her end. Spoiler Alert, she had dated Pete Davidson for about two year and after breaking up for about a week, he began to date and then be engaged to Arianna Grande. I would recommend this book.
