| Description: | Select Guide Rating Internet comedian Kelly Bandas shares personal stories that help women build themselves back up stronger, braver, and more compassionate than ever before. In her highly anticipated nonfiction debut, comedian Kelly Bandas uses her trademark humor to recount stories of growing up and becoming a semifunctional adult in a dysfunctional world.

Rookie Mistakes is the call-to-action millennial women everywhere have been waiting for. |
