"Caitlin Brodnick is fabulous. She's a survivor . . . She's a funny, smart writer and she'll teach you, make you laugh, and maybe make you cry. For a minute. And then you'll feel better. And then you'll laugh again. Look, I'm just saying: the woman takes you on a journey. Get into it. --Sara Benincasa, author of Real Artists Have Day Jobs and Agorafabulous!
"It takes a special kind of person to turn a double mastectomy into comedy, and Caitlin Brodnick is just that kind of person: a hilariously upbeat woman who happens to have been diagnosed with the BRCA gene, a diagnosis she was determined to beat. I watched as readers fell in love with her through her award-winning Glamour video series, Screw You Cancer (an utterly Caitlin title, by the way); now I'm envious of everyone who gets to meet her for the first time through her writing. Enjoy!" --Cindi Leive, editor-in-chief of Glamour

"Caitlin Brodnick is a charming storyteller, an exceptional writer, and-most important-a survivor. I'm continually impressed by her chutzpah and willingness to share the candid, nitty-gritty details of her preventative double mastectomy with audiences in a way that is surprisingly hilarious, educational, and inspiring. Surgery stories have never been so much fun!" --Selena Coppock, comedian and author of The New Rules for Blondes
"A refreshingly hilarious, laugh-out-loud, bestie been-there-done-that road map for surviving the precarious journey cancer inevitably throws at you."
--Emme, model, fashion icon, public speaker, and author of Chicken Soup for the Soul: Curvy & Confident
"The author is honest about her feelings and concerns as she discusses her family and the decision to have the surgery. There is helpful information about the process, as well as friendly suggestions for dealing with pre- and postoperative issues. Brodnick's writing is engaging and entertaining, making this a great book for anyone considering preventive surgery."
