Klappentext zu „I've Got This Round “
Hilarious, candid, and full of shenanigans: actress and comedian Mamrie Hart the New York Times bestselling author of You Deserve a Drink is back with more adventures. When Mamrie simultaneously enters her thirties and finds herself single for the first time since college, the world is suddenly full of possibilities. Emboldened by the cool confidence that comes with the end of one s twenties, plus the newfound independence of an attachment-free lifestyle, Mamrie commits herself to living life with even more spirit, adventure, and heart than before. Mamrie dives into new experiences at full tilt and seeks out once-in-a-lifetime opportunities (like meeting the Dixie Chicks), bucket-list goals (like visiting the Moulin Rouge), and madcap adventures (like going anchors-away on a Backstreet Boys cruise) all while diving back into the dating world for the first time in a decade.
In I ve Got This Round, readers will find the same shameless honesty and I ll-try-anything-once spirit they loved in Hart s New York Times bestseller You Deserve a Drink. Mamrie doubles down on her strong female friendships, her willingness to engage in shenanigans, and her inimitable candor, taking the reader along for a wild and unforgettable journey through adulting.

The Poc-oh-no'sA DISCLAIMER: Every good relationship I've had has started with honesty . . . and usually a long night of drinking and creating memories that could be used as future blackmail. But since they wouldn't let me duct-tape a fifth of tequila to every copy of this book, I'll just stick with being truthful instead. SO: This chapter, out of the entire book, is the longest. Most authors wouldn't do this. Most authors would kick off their book with a snack of a story. Something to whet the appetite. Like an amuse-bouche at a fancy restaurant or a mini Snickers in your car before Chili's. But that's not my style. I respect you too much to start you off with a quick bang. I wanted our first time to be slow and attentive and leave you satisfied. That said . . . let's get into some trouble, y'all!
Reader, if there's something you need to know about me, it's that I often get very obsessed with very dumb things, one of these things being comically large items. Nothing makes me happier than larger-than-life gags: giant whoopee cushions; water towers painted to look like food items; roadside attractions, like the world's largest ball of twine. This love for colossal crap started early, thanks to a creative local business in my hometown. Where I grew up, in Podunk, North Carolina, there were only a few businesses in town: some gas stations, a VHS rental/tanning bed salon hybrid, and, situated right by the town's only intersection, a silk-screening shop that took care of all your sports uniforms and fund-raiser T-shirt needs.
Now, I'm no marketing exec, but one would think that the best way to advertise this last business would be to put some jerseys in the window. Ya know, show the people driving by the best examples of your work. But not this place. Instead, they filled their window with a ginormous pair of bright orange granny panties, at least four feet wide, that read "Home of the Whopper" across the ass. It killed me, and still does. To this day, it's

my go-to visual to make me laugh, like Peter Pan's happy thought to fly. Home of the Whopper. SMDH.
But despite all the oversize goods I've been around in my day, there has always been one giant thing I've yet to find. My comically large holy grail . . . no, but seriously, it is a grail, because I'm talking about a giant champagne glass.
Let me take you back. When I was just shoulder high to a titmouse, I saw a commercial for a romantic resort with a couple in a tub shaped like a massive champagne glass. I couldn't believe my freshly diagnosed nearsighted eyes! What a sight to behold. This couple was happier than an eighties Newport cigarette ad, heads cocked back, laughing as bubbles swirled all around them. I immediately fell in love with that scene and that tub. I know what you're thinking:
1) WTF does "shoulder high to a titmouse" mean? Stay tuned for more confusing Southern colloquialisms!
2) What kind of child fantasizes about going to what is clearly a lovers' resort?
THIS one. I was a weird child who wanted to be an adult by about age eight. While other kids were decorating their Barbie Dreamhouse or out in the yard playing hide-and-seek, I had a different routine. I would sit at my dining room table, ordering "Vodka Vavooms" from an invisible waiter, which was really just cran-grape in a martini glass. Then I'd take that 'tini to the roof of my dilapidated barn, imagining it was a sexy rooftop bar, drinking, and puffing away on a small twig as if it was a Capri cigarette.
This is all especially strange because neither of my parents ever drank or smoked while I was growing up. Despite this, I was basical

Pressezitat
Praise for You Deserve a DrinkMy mom and I had Mamrie on In Bed with Joan and we absolutely fell in love with her! She carries her wit in the palm of her hand, usually along with a delicious cocktail. In this book, Mamrie breaks into hilarious as easily as she drops into poignant. A girl who holds the torch for all the funny and smart ladies out there! Melissa Rivers
I loved this book. Mamrie Hart is hilariously brilliant, and really puts things in perspective with You Deserve a Drink. Specifically that I do deserve a drink. And the only person I feel like having one with right now is her. Judy Greer, actress and author of I Don t Know What You Know Me From: Confessions of a Co-Star
You know that voice you have inside that tells you not to do certain things because they are reckless, embarrassing, or socially unacceptable? Mamrie Hart does not have that voice. She does it all and tells it all in You Deserve a Drink. Rachel Dratch, SNL alum and author of Girl Walks into a Bar . . .
This book is way better than my book. Hannah Hart, New York Times bestselling author of My Drunk Kitchen
You Deserve a Drink is like a night out with Mamrie Hart: charmingly weird and hilariously memorable. All that s missing is the hangover. Tyler Oakley, Youtube star
Lowbrow/brilliant. New York magazine s Approval Matrix
