About this ebook
“People who grow up like this tend to become agoraphobics, serial killers, or really funny writers. Mulgrew, I think – hope? – is the last of these three things. His stories of childhood made me laugh out loud.” — Rob McElhenney, star, creator, and producer of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
“The somewhat alarming, always interesting world inside Jason’s brain has now been strewn across the pages of a book. Godspeed, reader.” — Steve Hely, author of How I Became a Famous Novelist
Jason Mulgrew’s wildly popular blog “Everything Is Wrong With Me: 30, Bipolar and Hungry,” gives rise to a memoir of startling insight, comedy, and irreversible, unconscionable stupidity.
- A Blue-Collar Childhood: Welcome to a world of longshoremen, neighborhood bookies, and family traditions that often involve a trip to the local precinct.
- South Philadelphia Setting: Experience the gritty, loyal, and utterly insane neighborhood of South Philly, from the sacred Mummers Parade to the back-alley fireworks business run by an eleven-year-old.
- Coming of Age Story: Navigating the horrors of Catholic school, a humiliating Little League career, and the life-altering discovery of stolen condoms.
- 80s and 90s Nostalgia: A hilarious look back at a time of Super Soakers, Sega Genesis, Milli Vanilli, and realizing your dad’s elephant gun might actually be loaded.

...and listening to crazy, but true, stories from a friend. That's exactly what this book is like, and I laughed my way through it. Definitely worth the 99 cents I paid for it.

Reminded me of my dysfunctional family. Loved it- though I wish there were more to it.
