Overview

WHEN YOUR KID IS LITTLE, the paradoxes of parenting are simple: you can love your child to death, and also be willing to do anything to get them to go the fuck to sleep. But by the time your precious little baby bird is getting ready to spread its wings and leave the nest? That's a whole different level of complexity. You're happy and sad. Thrilled and devastated. You want to give them all the advice you can, but you know they've got to make their own mistakes. You want them to know they can always come home, but also you're turning their bedroom into a gym.With Adam Mansbach's trademark honesty, humor, and profanity, Go the Fuck to College perfectly captures the complicated emotional reality of this poignant, fraught, exciting time. A perfect gift for any graduating senior-or their parents or grandparents-this book somehow encapsulates everything you'd ever want to tell your kid . . . along with a few things you'd never dream of saying out loud.
