Looking for a memoir that would make me laugh and/or say "jesus I can't believe they went through that". I've enjoyed celebrity memoirs from Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, culty kinds of stuff about fundamentalist groups, MLMs, and Scientology, books about North Korea… Would love any recommendations!
