Summary

A fresh， hilarious， and relatable collection of essays about everything from motherhood and marriage to sobriety and work-life balance （or imbalance） from the nationally bestselling author of the “honest， complicated” （SheKnows） Idiot。

As a busy mom with a newborn and a toddler， viral sensation Laura Clery has plenty to say about the ups and downs of pregnancy， childbirth， and being the best mom she can be while also balancing career success， sobriety， marriage， and creativity。

With her engaging and witty voice， she pulls back the curtain on all aspects of her offbeat life， including dealing with addiction and virtual AA meetings during a pandemic and maintaining healthy relationships with her son， daughter， husband， and most importantly， herself。 Laura’s life has changed a great deal since she wrote Idiot， but what hasn’t changed is her ability to celebrate the laugh-out-loud moments of everyday life and share the tough times with humor， honesty， and heart。

Idiots is a follow up to Laura Clery's first book Idiot （which I haven't read）。 I should start off by saying that if you are easily offended you might not be the target audience but if you're a fan of Laura's you will love it！ I LOVED it but it could be a bit much for other people。 Laura made me laugh and cry， but mostly cry。 She talked about the births of both of her children but more in depth about her daughter Poppy。 Why has no one else talked about the fourth trimester？ I truly felt like she Idiots is a follow up to Laura Clery's first book Idiot （which I haven't read）。 I should start off by saying that if you are easily offended you might not be the target audience but if you're a fan of Laura's you will love it！ I LOVED it but it could be a bit much for other people。 Laura made me laugh and cry， but mostly cry。 She talked about the births of both of her children but more in depth about her daughter Poppy。 Why has no one else talked about the fourth trimester？ I truly felt like she was talking to me as a friend。Laura also talked about being diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 34。 I recently was diagnosed at the age of 31 and it's changed my life immensely。 Her words were so raw and I shed so many tears reading that chapter。 She was able to talk about it in a way I most likely never could。Idiots was crude， hilarious and emotional。 Thank you to Netgalley and Simon & Schuster Canada for the ARC。 。。。more

Real， raw， and honest！ Let me start off by saying if you are easy offended， this book is not for you。 Laura does not hold back and does not have a filter。 That is why I personally love Laura， she is authentic and real。 I’ve been following Laura on social media for several years。 I read her first book， Idiot， and I loved it。 I learned so much about her and her life and gained more respect for her。 When I saw she was releasing this second book， Idiots， focusing around the new chapter of her life， Real， raw， and honest！ Let me start off by saying if you are easy offended， this book is not for you。 Laura does not hold back and does not have a filter。 That is why I personally love Laura， she is authentic and real。 I’ve been following Laura on social media for several years。 I read her first book， Idiot， and I loved it。 I learned so much about her and her life and gained more respect for her。 When I saw she was releasing this second book， Idiots， focusing around the new chapter of her life， motherhood， I knew I had to read it too。 Laura talks about her experience with birth， postpartum， and motherhood open and honestly。 Laura talks openly about mistakes she’s made and how she’s moved on and improved。 Some parts will make you laugh out loud and others will hit you right in the feels。 Laura is able to talk about the hard topics while adding some laughter and lightness into them。 Obviously， I highly recommend this book for all Laura Clery fans！ Thank you Net Galley and Gallery books for an ARC of this book in return for my honest review。 。。。more

Idiots by Laura Clery is the follow-up to her wildly popular Idiot， in which she unabashedly shares some of her struggles with addiction and some very toxic relationships， which have all led to where she is today。 In Idiots， Clery's focus has clearly shifted to becoming a wife and mother， and the struggle to balance the daily chaos of her indisputably unconventional life with providing a nurturing environment for her young family。 What really endears Laura to us， however， is her ability to shock Idiots by Laura Clery is the follow-up to her wildly popular Idiot， in which she unabashedly shares some of her struggles with addiction and some very toxic relationships， which have all led to where she is today。 In Idiots， Clery's focus has clearly shifted to becoming a wife and mother， and the struggle to balance the daily chaos of her indisputably unconventional life with providing a nurturing environment for her young family。 What really endears Laura to us， however， is her ability to shock us with graphic and unfiltered descriptions of sex and childbirth， among other things， while at the same time exposing a vulnerability that is relatable to so many。 At the outset of this book， I have to admit that I was wondering what I had let myself in for， but as Laura's insecurities about her decisions both past and present began to emerge， I found myself becoming increasingly engaged in her story。 Her personal and very heartfelt thoughts on her son's unexpected autism diagnosis are particularly touching， as are the concerns that she shares about the future for her children。 Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster Canada for an ARC。 。。。more
