I Hate Myselfie

From his first vlog in 2008, to his full-length film directorial debut, "Not Cool", Shane Dawson has been an open book when it comes to documenting his life. But behind the music video spoofs, TMI love-life details, and outrageous commentary on the everything the celebrity and internet world has the nerve to dish out is a guy who grew up in a financially challenged but loving home in Long Beach, California, and who suffered all the teasing and social limitations that arise when you're a morbidly obese kid with a pretty face, your mom is you best friend, and you can't get a date to save your life. In "I Hate Myselfie", Shane steps away from his larger-than-life internet persona and takes us deep into the experiences of an eccentric and introverted kid, who, by observing the strange world around him, developed a talent that would inspire millions of fans. Intelligent, hilarious, heartbreaking, and raw, "I Hate Myselfie" is a collection of eighteen personal essays about how messy life can get when your growing up and how rewarding it can feel with the cleanup is (pretty much) done.
