The instant New York Times bestseller from “queen of the geeks” Felicia Day, You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is a “relentlessly funny and surprisingly inspirational” (Forbes) memoir about her unusual upbringing, her rise to internet stardom, and embracing her weirdness to find her place in the world.When Felicia Day was a girl, all she wanted was to connect with other kids (desperately). Growing up in the Deep South, where she was “home-schooled for hippie reasons,” she looked online to find her tribe. The Internet was in its infancy and she became an early adopter at every stage of its growth-finding joy and unlikely friendships in the emerging digital world. Her relative isolation meant that she could pursue passions like gaming, calculus, and 1930’s detective novels without shame. Because she had no idea how “uncool” she really was. But if it hadn’t been for her strange background-the awkwardness continued when she started college at sixteen, with Mom driving her to campus every day-she might never have had the naive confidence to forge her own path. Like when she graduated as valedictorian with a math degree and then headed to Hollywood to pursue a career in acting despite having zero contacts. Or when she tired of being typecast as the crazy cat-lady secretary and decided to create her own web series before people in show business understood that online video could be more than just cats chasing laser pointers. Felicia’s rags-to-riches rise to Internet fame launched her career as one of the most influential creators in new media. Ever candid, she opens up about the rough patches along the way, recounting battles with writer’s block, a full-blown gaming addiction, severe anxiety, and depression-and how she reinvented herself when overachieving became overwhelming. Showcasing Felicia’s “engaging and often hilarious voice” (USA TODAY), You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is proof that everyone should celebrate what makes them different and be brave enough to share it with the world, because anything is possible now-even for a digital misfit. Review “Felicia is a lot of fun, and so is her book.” -- George R.R. Martin“[An] inspirational comic memoir . . . to set alongside Tina Feys Bossypants, Amy Poehlers Yes Please, Mindy Kalings Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, Lena Dunhams Not That Kind of Girl and Sarah Silvermans The Bedwetter. Young people of both sexes and every gender should find much to empower them. (Older people, too, for that matter.)” Los Angeles Times“Written in her engaging and often hilarious voice, its just downright fun to read.” USA Today (3.5 out of 4 stars)“At last, You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) reveals the secret origin story of everyone’s favorite geek super heroine! Felicia Day’s memoir is honest, hopeful, and hysterical. It’s the story of a girl who grew up lost and lonely-then became a self-made internet rock star. Reading it will make you feel like you can take on the whole Empire yourself.” -- Ernest Cline, author of Ready Player One“Relentlessly funny and surprisingly inspirational to anyone who grew up a geek and continually doubts themselves to this day. That’s a pretty wide audience, if I had to guess. . . . Day’s fans will obviously like the memoir, but it has more than niche appeal. It’s not meant to be a self-help book, but I found that’s the effect it had on me all the same.” Forbes “Quirky, uplifting and full of stories about embracing your inner nerd. Day has proven herself to be as talented in front of the camera as she is behind it. Its evident that shes a brilliant businesswoman whose avatar has secured a residence in digital media past, present and future.” Associated PressCharming and funny. Marie Claire“Day writes charmingly. . . . [She] is delightfully good company and has an interesting story to tell.” Kirkus Reviews“A super (and superquirky) memoir.” Booklist“Day’s writing is war
