2.5

2.5 🤡🙈 LMAO I love this man so much but this book did not do him any favours!!! Some highlights (greenlights?? This is a very loose interpretation of both words): his dad makes his 8 year old brother win a LITERAL pissing contest by forcing him to drink 2 beers for a dirt bike; Matthew masturbates to LORD BYRON POETRY *every* *single* night for months; his dad gives his drowned-in-the-toilet cockatiel CPR by shoving the entire wet bird in his mouth to bring it back to life and y’all it WORKS; he refers to a man’s wife, who has hairy armpits, as “Hair Pit”. 

I cannot possibly describe the first 15% of this book with enough justice. He basically details what an absolute rollercoaster of life trauma he’s experienced but somehow has turned into “greenlights.” Unclear what those are to him though - seems like his way of turning any situation around to its positive side, which on its own I love, but in its execution was so messy and at times straight up “what the f” worthy because it pretty much devolves into any even semi-positive situation he happens into by chance also getting declared a “greenlight”. This man loves his metaphors and I love him so much for it, but in this book he’s peddling mostly nonsense that sounds like Something™️ and it made me kinda hysterical LMAO. “What he did not know how to make ugly, he made beautiful” bro WHAT. This book made ME dazed and confused. *Wooderson voice* The thing I love about celebrity authors is I keep trying to enjoy them but they all stay the same.

Matty McC is straight up unhinged and this book felt like a fever dream. I well and truly love him. Also I hope to god he’s been in therapy for the last 30 years and just happens to leave that part out of the book. It’s an extremely good thing he’s a very gifted story teller cuz man was this book a ride!!!!
