You thought dating was hard before? Try dating someone who live-streams their coffee order, documents every minor inconvenience for engagement, and will 100% use your relationship as content. This brutally honest, hilariously unhinged guide will walk you through the emotional minefield of modern romance, covering critical topics like: Why their phone gets more eye contact than you. How to spot the red flags (hint: if they own a ring light, run).

From the deeply unqualified mind behind every bad decision you’ve ever made comes "What Am I Even Doing? (No Seriously, Someone Tell Me)," a deeply unhelpful guide to overanalyzing your entire existence, making terrible impulse purchases, and aggressively avoiding reality. In this book, you’ll find zero useful advice, but you WILL find an emotional breakdown disguised as a shopping spree—because spending $500 on throw pillows is easier than going to therapy.
