It's Messy in Here
by Cyn Posner
"Numb is my favorite flavor."
It's Messy in Here is a raw and darkly funny memoir about surviving cross addiction in all its guisespills, booze, food, sex, shopping, chaosand the relentless chase for selfworth through all the wrong things.
From bulimic teen beauty queen to cokefueled NFL cheerleader, onehit wonder Mexican pop star to blackout Hollywood writer, Cyn Posner has lived on both sides of the glitter: through the shiny promise of success and the wreckage when it all comes crashing down. What looks perfect on the outside hides the spirals, secrets, and compulsions beneath.
Told in sharp, unfiltered vignettes, It's Messy in Here is part cultural critique, part confession booth, part survival story. It lays bare the ways addiction sneaks into every corner of modern life, the messy, reluctant crawl out of it, and the contradictions of being humanwanting to escape and wanting to belong, craving chaos and craving calm, running from yourself and finally facing the mirror.
Enter at your own risk. The floor is slippery.
