You’ll feel 20–32% better about your own life after reading The Amy Binegar-Kimmes-Lyle Book of Failures . From #1 best-selling humorist Amy Lyle comes a laugh-out-loud collection of painfully awkward, wildly relatable, and delightfully disastrous moments that prove failure is not only survivable—it’s hilarious. Amy unpacks 45 years of missteps, from mistaking a freeway flagger’s wave for flirtation (“I Was Not Talking to You”) to surviving suburban cults and suspicious cat disappearances (“In the Neighborhood”). You'll cringe, cackle, and possibly cry-laugh as she recounts public parenting meltdowns, snoring husband rage, and calls from her best friend whose OB-GYN once declared her "too clean."
