Loser*: A Survival Guide to High School Popularity

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.
