Everything is Going to be Great by Rachel Shukert
"Shukert's sharp comic turns careen smack into the middle of our hearts."
-- Los Angeles Times
From performer, playwright, comedian, author and writer and producer of "Glow" and "Superirl" Rachel Shukert, Everything Is Going to Be Great, is a hilarious memoir of traveling through Europe in her twenties. Rachel chronicles her youthful navigation through the haphazard fun and debauchery of new freedoms, and the growing pains that ultimately accompany "adulthood." Fans of Sloane Crosley and David Sedaris are going to love Shulkert's story, and her sharp, smart humor.
One underfunded grand tour. A series of hilariously bad decisions.
- Women's Humor: Written with the sharp, smart voice that would later define her work on shows like Glow and Supergirl.
- Travel Misadventures: From a drunken Bastille Day celebration that ends with a broken nose in a Parisian hospital to a string of terrible jobs and even worse food.
- Self-Deprecating Humor: A painfully funny and unflinchingly honest look at the humiliation and absurdity of navigating "adulthood" for the first time.
- European Travelogue: Follow Rachel through Vienna, Amsterdam, and Zurich as she searches for purpose and finds mostly debauchery and awkward sexual encounters.
RACHEL SHUKERT has been fascinated by the Golden Age of Hollywood since she was a little girl, when she used to stay up all night watching old movies and fall asleep the next day at school. Rachel grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, and graduated from New York University. She is the author of Everything Is Going to Be Great, Have You No Shame?, and the Starstruck novels. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband.
