Laughing at Myself

Ever flashed a stranger by accident, botched a haircut so badly it required a hat for a month, or failed a driving test in such spectacular fashion it deserved its own Netflix special? Welcome to the gloriously chaotic world of Laughing at Myself—a riotous collection of real-life misadventures from autistic author Eden Gruger, who proves that embarrassment isn’t just inevitable… it’s downright entertaining. From wardrobe malfunctions to public blunders that make you want to dig a hole and live in it, Eden’s painfully honest, laugh-out-loud stories will have you snorting into your tea and nodding in solidarity. Whether you’re the kind of person who trips over flat surfaces or someone who somehow always keeps their crown on straight, this book is your permission slip to embrace the cringe. Perfect for rainy afternoons, paired with a cuppa and a biscuit (or three—no judgment). Ideal for fans of Tracy Bloom, Helen Fielding, and anyone who’s ever thought, “Did that really just happen?” Because let’s face it: life is a minefield of awkward moments. And Eden Gruger is here to remind us that surviving them with humour is half the battle. “Delightfully cringeworthy, humorous book…” “Thoroughly enjoyed Laughing at Myself… had some laugh out loud moments.
