Lukas Gage was having one of the shittiest weeks of his life. His beloved grandmother was dying, and Lukas was sitting next to his father – a man who had been mostly absent in his son’s childhood, except when talking to Lukas about tits. They were also across the street from a building where, months prior, Lukas had to grapple with the dissolution of his marriage.             Naturally, Lukas did the smartest thing anyone can do in a crisis: doomscroll to see what random people on the internet were saying about him. People were calling him an attention whore – and they were right. As a toddler, he set his room on fire. As a child, he flirted with women at Hooters. As a teen, he fell hopelessly in love with a girl who wore an ankle monitor. And as an adult, he became an actor and filmed that scene in The White Lotus (if you know, you know). Lukas was scared of attention and yet he craved it more than anything in the world.             I Wrote This for Attention is an exquisite memoir that details Lukas’ coming of age in the haunting underbelly of San Diego. Capturing universal anxieties – of transitioning from innocence to adulthood, of feeling too much and nothing at all, of sex and death, of fame and familial strife – this book is a remarkable achievement of healing, vaping through therapy sessions and having the courage to forgive the family that hurt you.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51596342100241,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51596342329617,"sku":"NGR9780008787769","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/000878776X.jpg?v=1751163630"},{"product_id":"i-wrote-this-for-attention-book-lukas-gage-9781668080078","title":"I Wrote This for Attention","description":"\u003cb\u003eA riveting and heartwarming memoir by the actor featured in \u003ci\u003eWhite Lotus\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEuphoria\u003c\/i\u003e that details his upbringing in the west coast--including a broken family, struggles with addiction, sex, borderline personality disorder--and now including a new foreword by friend and fan Colleen Hoover.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Lukas Gage was having one of the shittiest weeks of his life.
