Resumen del Editor

Brutal, brave, hilarious - a full-frontal memoir about surviving the very worst that life can throw at you. Rosie Waterland has never been cool.

Growing up in housing commission, Rosie was cursed with a near perfect, beautiful older sister who dressed like Mariah Carey on a Best & Less budget while Rosie was still struggling with various toilet mishaps. She soon realised that she was the Doug Pitt to her sister's Brad, and that cool was not going to be her currency in this life. But that was only one of the problems Rosie faced. With two addicts for parents, she grew up amidst rehab stays, AA meetings, overdoses, narrow escapes from drug dealers and a merry-go-round of dodgy boyfriends in her mother's life. Rosie watched as her dad passed out/was arrested/vomited, and had to talk her mum out of killing herself.

As an adult, trying to come to grips with her less than conventional childhood, Rosie navigated her way through eating disorders, nude acting roles, mental health issues, and awkward Tinder dates. Then she had an epiphany: to stop pretending to be who she wasn't and embrace her true self - a girl who loved drinking wine in her underpants on Sunday nights - and become an Anti-Cool Girl.

An irrepressible, blackly comic memoir, Rosie Waterland's story is a clarion call for Anti-Cool Girls everywhere.

"Individual, wounded, brilliant, and hilarious." (Sydney Morning Herald)

"If Augusten Burroughs and Lena Dunham abandoned their child in an Australian housing estate, she'd write this heartbreaking, hilarious book. It made me laugh uproariously, then feel terrible for her, then laugh all over again. Sorry, Rosie." (Dominic Knight, The Chaser)

"Hilarious, wise, gutsy, clear-eyed, devastating and uplifting. It's a marvel." (Richard Glover)

The Anti Cool Girl was shortlisted for the 2016 Indie Book Awards and for the 2016 ABIA Awards for Biography of the Year, and in addition was the Winner of the 2016 ABIA Awards People's Choice for the Matt Richell Award for New Writer of the Year

Very Good Read

I started reading this book after it was recommended in Jennette McCurdy’s book club and I can say that she has led me in the right direction again. Amazing life story of trauma, mental illness, and overcoming all odds with a humorous twist. Very good book

That's A Lot of Life

Well there is just Sooooooooooooo much to take in. I have had to deal with a lot of these issues, too. I listened after Jennette McCurdy chose this as her 1st Nonfiction choice for her new book club. I love her Sooooooooooooo very much. I want to write Music and Literature with her.

Absolutely Stunning

A beautiful memoir that makes all the messy parts of life feel perfectly imperfect. Sometimes we all need to be reminded that being cool is completely overrated. Thank you, Rosie, for every laugh, every tear, and every shit related mishap. Thank you, Rosie, for being you.

Honest and hilarious!

Though the stories Rosie tells are often sad, she brings a lot of honesty and humor where I find myself nodding along. It makes me want to curl up in a blanket, but then jump out into world feeling lighter and free!

Such a human story of trauma, mental health and healing. Her self deprecation and humor is inspiring and enjoyable.
