Lynnie 
memoir, short story collection
I'm a fan of Watsky's music and was eager to read this book when I learned he'd written a short story collection. The different essays in How to Ruin Everything are autobiographical- a look back on his adventures and misadventures.
Watsky has a gift for words & storytelling that really comes across in this collection. I often found myself laughing out loud or shaking my head in disbelief or understanding. Admittedly, some of the stories didn't hold my attention as much as others, but I feel that way about most essay collections. My favorite stories in the collection were Tusk, What Year is It?, Crying & Baseball, and The White Whale.
Don't worry if you're not already a fan of his, you will be after reading this collection. Can't wait to see what Watsky does next.
