"The internet's best friend." — Flare

From the author of the popular newsletter That's What She Said, Nobody Cares is a frank, funny personal essay collection about work, failure, friendship, and the messy business of being alive in your twenties and thirties.

As she shares her hard-won insights from screwing up, growing up, and trying to find her own path, Anne T. Donahue's debut book offers all the honesty, laughs, and reassurance of a late-night phone call with your best friend. Whether she's giving a signature pep talk, railing against summer, or describing her own mental health struggles, Anne reminds us that failure is normal, saying no to things is liberating, and that we're all a bunch of beautiful disasters — and she wouldn't have it any other way.

      Anne T. Donahue has a serious message: Be yourself, find your own path, it's normal to fail, and nobody is judging you nearly as intently as you are judging yourself. But this seriousness of purpose is wrapped up in a hilarious and self-deprecating torrent of words that Donahue delivers with an acerbic bite and energetic pacing. She is both immensely entertaining and discomfortingly self-reflective as she ricochets through her life, exploring her educational and occupational failures, alcoholism, the benefits of therapy, friendship mistakes, an intense dislike of cheese, and a long-time crush on Leonardo DiCaprio. Donahue is a Canadian writer in her early 30s who is wrestling with "adulting"; these essays combined with her fresh and funny performance are both hilarious and inspirational. A.B.

      In her debut book, podcast host and journalist Anne T. Donahue (not to be confused with Anne Donahue, the creator of CSI, as the author points out) recounts her mid-twenties realization that no one really pays attention to anyone but themselves. After an adolescence marked by misadventure (everything from shirking her parents' beloved Catholic traditions to repeating twelfth grade to spending a year, post high school, working as a hardware-store manager), Donahue expended a great deal of energy worrying about how others perceived her. It wasn't until she decided to make her way as a writer and was forced to move back in with her parents that Donahue realized that what some people consider a setback does not always equal a lack of personal progress. More importantly, nobody cares much anyway! Donahue's tight collection of essays is perfect for anyone struggling to break free from the idea that the world is watching his or her every move. Smart, funny, honest, and as encouraging as an hour-long phone call with a faraway friend.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
