It Gets Worse by Shane Dawson
YouTuber Shane Dawson went through a lot in the past to get to where he is now, and his book It Gets Worse shares some of his experiences with his readers. He touches on his dreams of becoming a director, his difficulties coming out as bisexual, and other life stories written as a collection of essays. Shane is open about his feelings and is not afraid to poke fun at the past and himself when he feels necessary.
Shane takes you through many parts of his life with his unique, sometimes edgy sense of humour. He guides you through his misfortune and misadventures while keeping you laughing the whole time. The addition of thoughts from both his past and present selves adds depth to the stories and keeps the reader interested, even during the heavier topics.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is going through tough times as many of the stories are relatable to everyone in some way. Anyone else looking for a laugh will most likely enjoy this book too. His humor is a little dark at times and isn’t for everyone, but if you can look past it then there is a good chance you will love this book.
