Trae and Corey will take you from the smallest of small towns to major US metropolises (or is it metropoli? We haven't a fartin' clue!).

From Chickamauga to Cheyenne, New York to New Orleans, Seattle to Scotland—no matter where these two wandering jesters go, there's something to roast, something to toast, and something to learn about what ties us together as humans. Even the most outrageous of us.

Perfect for anyone who:Likes to travel.Loathes to travel.Any Southerner who's both a little proud and a little ashamed of the South (that's all the sane ones).Any Northerner, Midwesterner, or West Coaster who wants to know what two self-proclaimed rednecks have to say about their own hometown.Anyone from the UK who thinks us Yanks are the craziest folks on God's green earth (cause this book will likely confirm that stereotype, yup).

    USA Today Best Selling Author Andrea Smith brings you her hilarious debut BBW Romance! 
Dirk Sexton is a thirty year old playboy with a conscience.  
He wants the sex without feeling the guilt of his meaningless one night stands. Deciding to take a chance, he finally takes the leap only to realize that he may just have chosen the wrong sister. 
Autumn Dey, Dirk's newest employee at his radio station, may be Summer Dey's twin sister, but they are definitely not identical. Summer is tall and toned . . . and well Autumn isn't. 
When Summer starts dating her sister's gorgeous new boss, Dirk Sexton, Autumn slides herself into the friend zone, admiring from afar. Until, that is, Autumn's alter ego (and 900 operator "Ramona") discovers Dirk's true desires. 
Will love truly conquer all?

    Did I just embarrass myself? (Probably, but let’s obsess over it for 12 hours.) 
Welcome to the official handbook for people who replay every conversation they've ever had like it's a humiliating movie they didn’t consent to star in. 
If you’ve ever: 
✔️ Rehearsed saying “here” before roll call. 
✔️ Changed grocery store lines to avoid small talk. 
✔️ Said “you too” when a waiter told you to enjoy your meal. 
✔️ Sent a text, reread it 27 times, and still panicked… 
Congratulations! You may be entitled to financial compensation (just kidding, but you will find this book painfully relatable). 
In Did I Just Embarrass Myself? (Probably, But Let’s Obsess Over It for 12 Hours), we’ll explore: 
📌 The existential nightmare of casual goodbyes (“See you later”... but WILL you?). 
📌 How to pretend you’re normal in a conversation (spoiler: you’re failing). 
📌 The traumatic experience of picking up the phone. 
📌 Why texting is just anxiety in digital form. 
📌 The social death that comes when your joke lands flat in a group chat. 
📌 How to leave a party without having to say goodbye 47 times. 
This is not a self-help book. This is a documentation of your suffering, written by someone who also lies awake at night thinking about that one awkward thing they did in 2013. 
You don’t need therapy. You need to read this book and laugh at how dysfunctional we all are.
