I'm Kind of a Big Deal: And Other Delusions of Adequacy

"Bursting with hysterical, wildly perceptive musings" (Amy Hatvany, author of Best Kept Secret), this irresistible collection of irreverent personal essays from the acclaimed author of Drunk-ish is unputdownable.

Whether she's driving a limo for former Family Ties star Justine Bateman, dancing in the dark for a rarely seen Bob Dylan music video, or stalking a bachelor reject from TV's Love Connection, Stefanie Wilder-Taylor is kind of a big deal--at least in her own mind. Smart, screwy, and scathingly funny, her tell-all essays capture every cringe-worthy moment of her kind-of famous life. From bombing as a stand-up comic for born-again Christians, to winging it as a singing waitress in an Italian restaurant, to posting open letters to Angelina Jolie and David Hasselhoff, this unstoppable Los Angeles transplant refuses to give up on her dreams--no matter how ill-advised--and shows us a side of Hollywood better kept hidden.
