“A disarmingly, unblinkingly honest work.”—Chicago Tribune
“This will be one of your favorite books of all time. Through her
intensely vulnerable, honest, and hilarious reflections Chelsea
shows us more than just her insides. She shows us ourselves.”—Amy
Schumer
“The Chelsea Handler I know is a take-no-prisoners
activist for the causes she believes in. She brings the
same fearlessness and commitment to telling her truth in
this book. I’m hoping that one day, in exchange for this blurb, she
will let me see the security camera footage of the dog fight in her
bedroom.”—Trevor Noah
“This is, of course, a roller coaster ride, since it’s a Chelsea
Handler book, but it’s a thoughtful roller coaster ride, including
not only dog poop and hallucinogenics, but a tour-de-force
loop-the-loop through formative trauma and questions of how to be a
grown-up and what it means to go deeper into your own life, and I’m
sure I mentioned funny bits.”—Rebecca Solnit, author of Men Explain
Things to Me
“In this brutally truthful memoir, Chelsea Handler introduces us to
the family, struggles, and triumphs that have shaped her life. Her
story is both personal and highly relatable, especially for anyone
who has ever wondered why we’re on this earth and what we can do to
change it for the better. This book is hilarious and heartbreaking;
I could not put it down. Chelsea is the girlfriend you want to
share your stories with and the woman you want with you on the
front lines.”—Cecile Richards, former president of Planned
Parenthood and author of Make Trouble
“I don’t know of any other writer who could move from Robert
Mueller to edibles to rescue dogs in a way that makes you laugh,
cry, and ponder the meaning of life. Chelsea Handler’s political
awakening in the Trump Era serves as the hilariously insightful
backdrop for Life With Be The Death of Me, a book in which she
chronicles her own journey and our collective insanity with just
the right mix of sincerity and snark.”—Jon Favreau, co-host of Pod
