About the Book
A refreshingly honest deep-dive into what we actually take away from a public education, this hilarious and heartfelt memoir captures the things we learn in school that are never part of any lesson plan yet somehow have the biggest impact upon the shaping of our perceptions over the years we spend in a classroom.
Things like competition, failure, scandal, popularity, disillusionment, triumph, guilt, and, of course, throwing up in public. From the glorious to the gloriously awkward, this everyman tale is a story of growing up, one semester at a time.

- “Funny, yet still matter-of-fact, Nay re-navigates her school years with both abashed hindsight and a sense of pride.” - Excerpts from The San Francisco Review
About the Author
When she’s not working or writing, she’s probably playing guitar, studying gemology, or at a Cavaliers game.
Tali always wanted to be a fiction writer, which is why she was surprised when real life is what came out when she actually sat down to write something substantial.
