520    "This hilarious part-memoir, part-manifesto reveals what 
       sets apart the latest generation of young people coming of
       age in an all-wired, overeducated, and underemployed 
       world. People are obsessed with Ryan O'Connell's blogs. 
       With tens of thousands reading his pieces on Thought 
       Catalog and Vice, watching his videos on YouTube, and 
       hanging on to each and every #dark tweet, Ryan has 
       established himself as a unique young voice who's not 
       afraid to dole out some real talk. He's that candid, 
       snarky friend you consult when you fear you're spending 
       too much time falling down virtual k-holes stalking your 
       ex on Facebook or when you've made the all-too-common 
       mistake of befriending a psycho while wasted at last 
       night's party and need to find a way to get rid of them 
       the next morning. But Ryan didn't always have the answers 
       to these modern day dilemmas. Growing up gay and disabled 
       with cerebral palsy, he constantly felt like he was one 
       step behind everybody else. Then the rude curveball known 
       as your twenties happened and things got even more 
       confusing. Ryan spent years as a Millennial cliche: he had
       dead-end internships; dabbled in unemployment; worked in 
       his pajamas as a blogger; communicated mostly via text; 
       looked for love online; spent hundreds on "necessary" 
       items, like candles, while claiming to have no money; and 
       even descended into aimless pill-popping. But through 
       extensive trial and error, Ryan eventually figured out how
       to take his life from bleak to chic and began limping 
       towards adulthood. Sharp and entertaining, I'm Special 
       will educate twentysomethings (or other adolescents-at-
       heart) on what NOT to do if they ever want to become happy
       fully functioning grown ups with a 401k and a dog"--
