Choose Your Own Disaster
A hilarious, quirky, and unflinchingly honest memoir about one young woman's terrible and life-changing decisions while hoping (and sometimes failing) to find herself, in the style of Never Have I Ever and Adulting.
A hilarious, quirky, and unflinchingly honest memoir about one young woman's terrible and life-changing decisions while hoping (and sometimes failing) to find herself, in the style of Never Have I Ever and Adulting.
Join Dana Schwartz on a journey revisiting all of the terrible decisions she made in her early twenties through the internet's favourite method of self-knowledge: the quiz. Part-memoir, part-very long personality test, Choose Your Own Disaster is a manifesto about the millennial experience and modern feminism. It explores how the easy advice of "you can be anything you want!" is actually quite difficult when faced with the myriad possible versions of oneself.
Dana has no idea who she is, but she knows she's a Carrie, a Ravenclaw, a Raphael, a Belle, a former emo kid, a Twitter addict, and a millennial just trying her best.
