Publisher's summary

For comedian and content creator Manon Mathews, comedy is life.

But it took more than luck for her hilarious antics on Vine to open the door to her career. It took years of routinely embarrassing herself, improv classes, some stints as an amateur stand-up comic, unrelenting dedication, and one life-altering night out that forced her to change her ways. This set her on the path to manifesting her dream life.

Making people laugh with hilarious skits isn’t the only way Manon chooses to be of service. She also shares nuggets of motivational and spiritual wisdom on social media as ManonFestation. Now, in hopes of helping others, Manon recounts her wackiest moments, most questionable decisions, lessons learned over the years, romantic tales, and the cinematic story of her marriage. Manon aspires to help people learn lessons from their own journeys so that they, too, can grow from their pasts and manifest their best lives.

Excellent book!

I privately wrote Manon a message to let her know how much I enjoyed her book but I decided to write a review to let anyone else know how wonderful it is!! I have not shared any of the same experiences as Manon but I could relate so much to the emotions she experienced through this book! This book made me feel at peace with my own struggles and reminded me that I am not alone and we are all connected! Really a beautifully written book and I enjoyed hearing Manon herself read it!! Highly recommend!

Great listen!

Got through this book in a day! Such a great listen and has wonderful life lessons at the end! Manon is brilliant!

Meh meant well but

A bit overly self-indulgent. It had a few smiles. It was sweet in many moments but mostly it gave me a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. Something didn’t sit right. She’s still figuring out who she is, which is good. We all are, right, but she’s also trying to suggest to others how they can go about figuring out how they are. I dunno. Just didn’t feel genuine but I truly wanted to believe that she is.

Very Boy Focused

Very focused on the men she’s dated. I wish it was more about her and not so focused on guys. I couldn’t finish it because I was tired of hearing “So then I started dating _____...” couldn’t take another story about a guy

The story and narration were sort of boring

The narration was so slow. I feel like she is out of touch with the every day person that isn’t part of LA or vine. I mean that’s her experience, but I didn’t really enjoy the book. It wasn’t relatable to me and the lessons I already knew many of them. She seems nice and all and props to writing a book, that’s awesome. It just wasn’t the book for me.

Enjoyable Listen

Bought after hearing her on Recovery Happy Hour podcast. I'm too much of an old fart to really understand/appreciate the whole "influencer" lifestyle but it is a great story and the tips at the end are fantastic. Loved the way asked did that. Manon is obviously a funny person and a great soul.

manon is an angel

I loved everything about the stories, the personality, and the soothing narration. left me wanting more!

Loved it!

This was a great book, and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for this!

I liked it!

It was a really good… healing story about her journey and it was a cherry on top to hear it narrated by the author.

Easy listen, brought a smile to my face

I really like this author and I'm glad she read it so I could hear her voice through and through. It isn't earth-shattering stuff, but I like hearing about how she views her journey and seeing where there's similarities with my own, even though we have very different lives. Easy listening, glad I got it.

Comforting & encouraging. Thanks Manon!

Manon's narration is clear & pleasant to listen to. I had no idea what to expect from her story and appreciated her open-ness on what she struggled with. The bonus lessons/things that helped her are a great addition too.

Well thought out and resonating

I wasn't sure at first if I was going to like the book, but then the further I got into, the more I was hooked and moved. I resonated with her life experiences and wisdom a lot more than expected! This book has a little bit of everything in it and I will be listening to it again in the future.

Awesome!!!! You want this!!

Loved it?? Adored it!!! Love her voice and storytelling soooooo much!!! PC SeriousButFunnyalsoawesome! Youllnotregretifyougetthispromise! LifeLessonsforeverybody!! 💋💋💋💋💃💃💃💃

thank you Manon. hope you will see this.

this was exactly what I need it I've finished your book at 5:47 am and I am not going to swear that I did not slept.

all is full of magic

I've seen Manon on IG a few times, followed for a bit then not, then did follow again so wasn't exactly sure what to expect from this book but there was a weird intuition telling me to preorder and I am so grateful I listened to that voice. This book was like an avalanche of different feelings, I sobbed, I laughed, I pondered about my own existence on this planet, I felt gratitude, the infectious waves of creative powers... all of it!!! could not turn it off until it was finished!! this book is exactly what I needed to hear. thank you Manon! this is brilliant 👍
