Description

“Whitney Cummings has written a book about being, well, not fine—and what to do when you find yourself with brutal anxiety and a co-dependency disorder; all in her trademark wit, humor, and honesty. This book, however, is fine as hell.”—Sophia Amoruso, author of #Girlboss

“The funniest cry for help you'll read this year.”—BJ Novak

Well, well, well. Look at you, ogling my book page....I presume if you’re reading this it means you either need more encouragement to buy it or we used to date and you’re trying to figure out if you should sue me or not.
 
Here are all the stories and mistakes I’ve made that were way too embarrassing to tell on stage in front of an actual audience; but thanks to not-so-modern technology, you can read about them here so I don’t have to risk having your judgmental eye contact crush my self-esteem. This book contains some delicious schadenfreude in which I recall such humiliating debacles as breaking my shoulder while trying to impress a guy, coming very close to spending my life in a Guatemalan prison, and having my lacerated ear sewn back on by a deaf guy after losing it in a torrid love affair. In addition to hoarding mortifying situations that’ll make you feel way better about your choices, I’ve also accumulated a lot of knowledge from therapists, psychotherapists, and psychopaths, which can probably help you avoid making the same mistakes I’ve made. Think of this book as everything you’d want from the Internet all in one place, except without the constant distractions of ads, online shopping, and porn.
 
I’m not sure what else to say to say, except that you should buy it if you want to laugh and learn how to stop being crazy. And if we used to date, see you in court.

    Started off really funny and entertaining. I even learned a lot from reading this. But near the end the book felt whiny and self absorbed. Still worth the read. Easy to follow and i was able to relate to being codependent.
  • Hilarious amazing read

    I have never read a book that made me laugh out loud as much as this book. I had to stop reading at the beach because bystanders thought I was crazy! It’s the only book I ever read that cracked me up and taught me life lessons at the same time. Not reading I’m Fine would be a mistake!

    An honest and open description of the journey to better mental health. Written with her wonderful sense of humor, which keeps you wanting to read more. A perfect champion of the imperfect human condition. Thank you, Whitney!

    I have so much anxiety right now, as I was laying bedridden from anxiety and the fun side effects and thoughts. I caught this on a random show I have no idea of the name of the show, was the only thing that wasn’t an infomercial as I only get 3 channels and 6 when they find more commercials to torment me with. So I looked it up, as I am desperate right now coming back from a wasted trip to the hospital last night because apparently I’m “Bad, but could be worse. At least sometimes you’re able to get out of bed and take a shower or do some dishes...” After reading the 66 page sample, and being in financial turmoil due to my mental disposition. I can’t afford to purchase the full book right now. So with this being said my review is over the momentary relief I felt in just the SAMPLE. A relief I haven’t not felt since I got lost. I have not been able to read as I get too anxious to get to the parts that I need to know to feel good and I never find it and give up trying to read. I was so satisfied with everything I was reading I kind of forgot it was a sample and I’m really sad that it’s over. But hopefully soon I can purchase the full book and continue my novel review, because I really feel like what I was reading was the most helpful entertainment I’ve had since before I can remember.
