This book doesn’t miss a full-founded beat by eloquently telling the story of growing up, loving, and learning your family are people too (flawed and all).

I Put Pants On for This is a collection of heartfelt, colorful essays about growing up, because that sh*t is hard to do. Now in her early thirties, writer Lydia Mack explores the residual nostalgia of her childhood spent between the wealthy suburbs of Washington D.C. and Bangkok, Thailand, while grappling with what to hang on to and what to leave behind from the mess that was life after. Using her wit and curiosity, she takes readers on a journey through life's less-than-perfect moments and their lasting impact.

 
Funny, witty, relatable, and moving.

The stories are funny, serious, heart-breaking, thought-provoking, and hopeful all at once.
