The results have been . mixed. Nonetheless, Maeve still believes she's one pair of leather pants, one perfect use of the word \"bespoke,\" and one jar of expensive olives away from self-actualization. She'll never stop trying, no matter how bespoke things get (was that right?).   With sharp wit and unflinching honesty, Maeve shares her own misadventures-like the time she quietly endured a ruptured appendix at McDonald's so she wouldn't come off as dramatic-and explores the universal desire to belong. She invites readers into her world of One Direction fanfiction authorship and passive-aggressive yogurt mind games, detailing the anxieties that come with living in an age of constant visibility.   Both cringe-inducing and uproarious, Read This To Look Cool is a deeply relatable meditation on the absurdity inherent in the constant performance of ourselves, offering a fresh perspective on self-love and the true meaning of cool. It's a book that says \"I see you\" and also \"Don't look at me, though, my hair is doing something weird.\" \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368878387573,"sku":"9781464220449","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781464220449.jpg?v=1763551224","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781464220449","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
