Praise for Things You Think About When You Bite Your Nails Things You Think About When You Bite Your Nails is a tender and witty examination of fear, in which Amalia Andrade shows us that fear is as universal and useful a teacher as heartbreak. She gives us an empowering opportunity to be observers of our own anxieties, and therefore become better caretakers of them. By the end of this funny, compassionate, and interactive deep-dive into the things that scare us, I was ready to ask my fears to dance! During an era when the unknown future seems especially frightening, this book is a must-have companion that reminds us how much power we actually have over our own lives. --Mari Andrew, author of Am I There Yet? and My Inner Sky Relatable and comforting and challenging all at once. Don't be afraid to read this book. --Jenny Lawson, author of Furiously Happy Amalia Andrade is back with another book packed full of kind-hearted, relatable, slightly manic, pop-culture-infused personal insight, and reflective prompts. Deeply human, this book on fear and anxiety has already touched many like-minded souls and is sure to continue its impact with this English translation. --Adam J. Kurtz, artist and author of 1 Page at a Time Things You Think About When You Bite Your Nails is a comforting, humorous, and unique endeavor into demystifying fear. Amalia Andrade so cleverly explores universal truths behind anxiety, while making room for the reader's own terrifying thoughts. --Jordan Sondler, author of Feel It Out As a fellow artist, I can certainly say that I hate Amalia. I'm deeply envious of her vulnerability, and her clever ability to make me confront my own fears and traumas, all while making me laugh. Can you believe the nerve?! If you're interested in rediscovering yourself, or just laughing hard, please read this book and hate love her along with me. --Timothy Goodman, author of Sharpie Art Workshop This book is a comprehensive toolkit wrapped up in a soft warm blanket. It gives you the courage to fight your darkest fears, and it offers you the comfort to quieten your loudest anxieties. It is a safe and supportive space that will encourage you to live a fear free life. Most of all, this book succeeds where most self-help books fail, it actually helps. --Lee Crutchley, author of How to Be Happy (Or at Least Less Sad)

Praise for You Always Change the Love of Your Life (for Another Love or Another Life) Accessible and easygoing . . . After reading, Andrade feels like one of your friends, but not like she's got it all figured out. . . . It's easy to believe that she knows what true heartbreak feels like, and that she can truly empathize. . . . You Always Change will probably help you through your current or next breakup, if only by knowing someone else shares your pain. --Lambda Literary If you are looking for a refreshing take on relationships, this may be the book for you. --She Reads Andrade's charming, earnest writing style and relatable descriptions of her own relationship grieving process are uniquely comforting and somehow joyous. --MindBodyGreen
