Matthew Quick, DAD, LOVE, ME: A Memoir

from Totally Booked with Zibby

August Book Club Pick!! You might know bestselling author Matthew Quick from his blockbuster hit Silver Linings Playbook, which became an Academy Award-winning film. Now we not only get a behind-the-scenes look at his personal life, but also his professional struggles, something most accomplished authors don’t open up about. Matthew shares what happened after Hollywood lost interest and how he dealt with it. He faced many demons in his attempts to cope with his difficult childhood, particularly his volatile relationship with his father, from alcohol to excessive exercise. The writing is exceptional. The honesty? Next level. It's midlife reinvention at its finest. Join us for a virtual Q&A book club on August 13th at 7:00 pm. Register here! ********* A story for the messy middle. Zibby's essay collection Between Chapters is out now! Love to listen? She narrated the audiobook. Listen on Spotify here. Listen on Apple here.
