Perfectly Imperfect — And Proud of It
Reading Screw Up Like a Genius felt like sitting down with a brutally honest, hilarious friend who reminds you that perfection is overrated and humanity is where the magic happens. L.S. Smith doesn’t just talk about failure — she invites you to laugh at it, learn from it, and see it as proof that you’re alive. The humor is sharp, the honesty refreshing, and the insights sneak up on you in the best way. I loved how this book gave me permission to exhale and stop trying so hard to “get it right.” It’s one of those rare reads that leaves you feeling lighter, braver, and oddly proud of your messy, beautiful self.

Finally — a book that claps for my chaos instead of fixing it.
Screw Up Like a Genius is the laugh-out-loud permission slip we all need to stop chasing perfect, spill our coffee with pride, and call it personal growth. ☕💥
