Book Overview
Amazon #1 Best Seller:
What if the American Dream was just a glitter-fueled lie? Soaked in pop culture and bad decisions, this Queer Millennial Odyssey is part confessional, part caper. It's a story woven into the fabric of a generation that voted reality TV into the White House and made grift a national pastime. The journey is outrageous, hilarious, and, at times, deeply self-aware.
Inked in glitter pen and promise, this Lisa Frank-inspired, late-stage capitalist fever dream is told through the eyes of an eight-year-old boy who believed every lie Ronald Reagan ever sold him-an unhinged adventure for anyone who's ever chased something wild in a world that never made space for them. It's not a pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps kind of story-we were all sold a sugar-coated lie: work hard, play by the rules, and success will fall into your lap. "Personally," he retorts, "I've found I'm more prosperous when I lie, cheat, and steal." This prankish take on the American Dream might just keep you turning the pages.
With the charm of a rogue and the morals of a raccoon, our antihero drags readers through scams, schemes, and self-sabotage-from backyard cons to a cutting-edge experiment with AI. You see, we've all been caught up in that chase: more money, more status, more validation. And I'm no different...
"But he is different, because he dared live an unlikely life in a society that punishes those who try it." -Publishers Weekly
In the end, one question remains:
In a game that is rigged for the rich, can you beat the system-or will it beat you?
