Summary

Segura is known for his twisted takes and irreverent comedic voice, but after a few busy years of work and parenting, he just wants to hide from everything. In this collection of true stories, he takes a revealing look at some of the situations that have shaped him. Readers will be laughing out loud-- and nodding in agreement with his message that, in a world where everyone is increasingly insane, sometimes you just need to be alone.
