Description

From one of the Internets favorite self-deprecating commentators comes Everybodys Favorite, a laugh-out-loud essay collection that tackles the relentless pursuit of perfection alongside the topsy-turvy, sometimes painful, and often hilarious negotiations that happen within Stones obsessive-compulsive brain.

Lilian Stonechildhood evangelical, AOL girlfriend, and professional nail biter is always living on the edge of anxiety. From the pitfalls of a girl plagued by religious trauma, the incomprehensible yet unforgiving need for perfection, and a twenty-pound beagle she never meant to keep, Everybodys Favorite is a refreshing story of what it means to pick yourself when the world is telling you otherwise. Still navigating the ins and outs of adulthood, accompanied by an obsessive-compulsive disorder thats become an exercise in self-acceptance and thus compassion, Lillian has become an expert in fighting the urge to be someone elses idea of perfect. In this laugh-out-loud essay collection, replete with cringe-inducing touchstones of an early-aughts girlhood, Lillian Stone recounts her quest to be everybodys favorite.

Set largely during the early 2000s Ozarks, in a community enveloped within evangelism, and peppered with Stones biting satire and gloriously self-deprecating personal anecdotes,Everybodys Favorite is a wry, empathetic look at the chaos that ensues when we contort ourselves into an ever-changing assortment of socially acceptable shapes only to fall out of place, twist an ankle, pee your pants a little, and realize that the pursuit of perfection isnt really all that interesting.
