Me vs Brain

An Overthinker’s Guide to Life





The hilarious book from TikTok and Insta sensation, Hayley Morris

Brain: No one's going to buy your book
Me: But it's good! My editor says so!
Brain: Well she would, wouldn't she... Btw, didn't you leave your hair straighteners on?
Me: I can't get into this now, I've got a book description to write

Hello! Hayley Morris here. You might have seen me on your feed dressed up as a vagina. People seem to find me quite funny. I'm on a mission to prove once and for all that You. Are. Not. A. Weirdo... Or, maybe, We. Are. All. Weirdos. Yes, you're not the only one whose body does that gross thing you've never even told your mum about. And yes, we're all walking around saying embarrassing things constantly and waking up in a cold sweat at 3am thinking about them. So we might as well have a laugh about it, right?

In this book, I've overthought absolutely everything so that you don't have to. I'm going to be talking about everything from dating to discharge, mental health to menstrual cups. I might not be able to banish your anxiety or make you feel 100% comfortable in your skin but I hope I can at least give you a break from the constant brain chatter and we can have a giggle about it together.
