SUMMARY:Adult Braces LA book launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch of ADULT BRACES: Driving Myself Sane\, the new book by Lindy West! In Conversation with FRANCHESCA RAMSEY! \n\nIn New York Times bestselling author Lindy West’s ambitious memoir\, she brings readers along on an uproarious cross-country road trip as she unpacks her last few tumultuous years\, rediscovers herself\, and reinvents her marriage in the process. \nThrough Shrill—the book and then the Hulu series—Lindy West became an inspiration. To this day she is stopped on the street and hailed as a beacon of empowerment by women who felt badly for not conforming to a narrow set of societal norms—thin\, straight\, compliant. But behind the scenes\, Lindy never felt like she was the self-actualized woman fans made her out to be. When she found herself in the throes of a deep depression\, with her marriage and sense of self-worth hanging in the balance\, she knew she needed to make a change. \nIn Adult Braces\, Lindy shares the story of her rock bottom\, and of the journey she took to claw her way out of it. With her trademark candor and sense of humor\, she examines her post-Shrill emotional implosion\, her shifting feelings about traditional marriage\, and her search for her long-lost self. She also tracks the highs and lows of her journey\, from eye-opening natural wonders and kitschy roadside attractions to lackluster tourist traps and campground epiphanies. \nThe result is an engaging and laugh-out-loud narrative of becoming as Lindy transforms from a passenger into the active navigator of her own life. \n— \nFRANCHESCA RAMSEY is an LA based actor\, writer\, producer and the creator/star of the award-winning web series MTV Decoded. A former writer/correspondent for Comedy Central’s The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore\, her first book\, Well That Escalated Quickly was nominated for an NAACP award and named one of Amazon’s best books of 2018. In 2021 she served as writer/co-producer on the iCarly reboot for Paramount+ and guest starred on NBC’s Superstore. In the podcast space she’s hosted and produced shows for Wondery\, Audible and Acast. Most recently she guest starred on Netflix’s Survival of the Thickest & has developed multiple tv projects with Will Packer Productions.
