You’ve just stumbled upon a collection of weird essays from a noob writer you didn’t know you needed in your life. In Not That Likeable: And Other Stories I Told Myself, perennial weirdo Amanda Hamilton unflinchingly chronicles her childhood exploits and coming-of-age story, in all their cringey glory. (Full disclosure: there’s a lot of content about boobs, boy crushes, maxi-pads and mean girls.)

Riotously funny and spirited, Amanda balances unflinching honesty and side-splitting wit in this offbeat memoir for the proverbial outsider.
