Loser*: A Survival Guide to High School Popularity

Description

C.S. Beaty takes readers on a nostalgic journey into the past in this laugh-out-loud memoir about growing up in small-town Nebraska.

While a teen in small town Nebraska, Chris took purity pledges, listened to emo music, played drums in marching band, shot guns competitively, and worked at a Boy Scout camp. He had a crush on every popular girl he met, but he never told them. Some of the hot girls found out though, and that’s when things got weird.

Loser* is C.S. Beaty’s debut memoir about growing up as a millennial in the Midwest and realizing that even though you feel like a loser, that doesn’t mean you are one.

“This wry account will resonate with anyone who’s survived high school.” – Kirkus Reviews

“This makes me glad I went to an all-girls school.”-Teresa Prince Conway, These United Cookies

“I think I will start by saying. It’s a great book. It’s funny.”-Chris’s ex-girlfriend

Beaty gives you permission to laugh at your own awkward high school years at his expense.
