About this listen

"Magnificent." (People Magazine)

The instant New York Times best seller: laugh-out-loud, deeply insightful, and emotion-filled essays from multitalented actress, comedian, podcaster, and writer Casey Wilson.

Casey Wilson has a lot on her mind and she isn’t afraid to share. In this dazzling collection, each essay skillfully constructed and brimming with emotion, she shares her thoughts on the joys and vagaries of modern-day womanhood and motherhood, introduces the not-quite-typical family that made her who she is, and persuasively argues that lowbrow pop culture is the perfect lens through which to examine human nature.

Whether she’s extolling the virtues of eating in bed, processing the humiliation over her father’s late in life perm, mourning her mother's passing, or revealing her patented method for keeping the mystery alive in a marriage, Casey is witty, candid, and full of poignant and funny surprises. Humorous dives into her obsessions and areas of personal expertise - self-help, nice guys, cool girls (not her) and how to receive visitors in the bath - are matched by touching meditations on female friendship, anger, grief, motherhood, and identity.

Reading The Wreckage of My Presence is like spending time with a close friend - a deeply passionate, full-tilt, joyous, excessive, compulsive, shameless, hungry-for-it-all, loyal, cheerleading friend. A friend who is ready for any big feelings that come her way - and isn’t afraid to embrace them.

Truly a fantastic book. Love hearing the author tell it in her own voice. Only thing I want to listen to right now.

I am on my third listen

This boon was everything I wanted it to be. Casey’s essays are written beautifully and performed wonderfully in this audiobook. It made me laugh out loud on my dog walks and shed a few tears in my car while listening. It’s incredibly funny and even more vulnerable.

Wonderful Listen

Uncomfortably relatable and hilarious. Casey’s comedic background lends to an unstoppable listen, and her roller coaster of a life is all too familiar!

I have been a fan of Casey’s since SNL and hearing her journey and also beautiful perspective was so amazing. It great when the person on tv you admire really is an wonderful person off screen and that shines through in Casey’s book. I would love another one from her ❤️

Wonderful

I normally listen to books at higher speed, but I recommend this one at normal speed so you get to enjoy the author’s comedic timing. I laughed, I cried, and I laughed so hard I cried.

Great book and performance!

Wonderful book. The essays are smart, witty, and moving. If you love Casey Wilson, or The Real Housewives, or relatable stories, then you will love this book.

First time ever hearing of CW and decided to give it a listen. Really enjoyed hearing about her background, good times, crazy times, and the love she has for her mom. Agreed with some of the shit she said and some I didn’t. Going to check out her show Happy Endings, it’s on Hulu. 😉

Legit & Entertaining

Thank you🙏 This was like hanging with my group of besties! “What?!! Rude? This is SMART and saving time 🤨” Jesus, are we living our lives for us or some rando who shoots us the stink eye for painting our nails in the airport while waiting to board or flossing my teeth at a red light with same 4 week old plastic flosser so I can help save the environment ? 🤷🏼‍♀️.
Well done! When is the next book coming out…on audio, and how behind the times am I that I hadn’t even heard of you before this??? I will be watching the Odd Couple or what ever the name of that show ASAp. Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Please come to our annual Girls trip which ironically falls on Mother’s Day every year🤣
