Shane Burcaw tells the continuation of his story in this followup to his 2014 humorous memoir "Laughing at my Nightmare." With his signature funny perspective and well written descriptions of the situations he finds himself in, his 2nd novel is a collection of essays demonstrating that Shane is living a full life, has a gorgeous girlfriend and is a successful entrepreneur and writer. 

 I loved this so much! Shane is hilarious, exposing rude actions by strangers, the crazy trips he takes with his brother and girlfriend and some of the daily events that he and his caregivers have to do to keep him going and comfortable. Includes pictures. Some of the language and content may be too mature for a school library, as Shane answers some rather mature "frequently asked questions."
