His beloved grandmother was dying, and Lukas was sitting next to his father – a man who had been mostly absent in his son’s childhood, except when talking to Lukas about tits. They were also across the street from a building where, months prior, Lukas had to grapple with the dissolution of his marriage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNaturally, Lukas did the smartest thing anyone can do in a crisis: doomscroll to see what random people on the internet were saying about him. People were calling him an attention whore – and they were right. As a toddler, he set his room on fire. As a child, he flirted with women at Hooters. As a teen, he fell hopelessly in love with a girl who wore an ankle monitor. And as an adult, he became an actor and filmed \u003cem\u003ethat\u003c\/em\u003e scene in \u003cem\u003eThe\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eWhite Lotus\u003c\/em\u003e (if you know, you know).

Capturing universal anxieties – of transitioning from innocence to adulthood, of feeling too much and nothing at all, of sex and death, of fame and familial strife – this book is a remarkable achievement of healing, vaping through therapy sessions and having the courage to forgive the family that hurt you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lukas Gage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46895155249301,"sku":"9780008787769","price":36.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780008787769_79d84965-4373-4a95-a663-30223a160159.jpg?v=1776888159","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780008787769_i-wrote-this-for-attention","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
