Clawing My Way to the Middle is a hilarious, heartfelt look at the uphill battle of trying to "make it" in lower middle-class America-armed with duct tape, dollar store dreams, and a sense of humor sharp enough to cut through student debt and expired coupons. With witty anecdotes, garage-sale philosophy, and a healthy dose of self-deprecating grit, this book is for anyone who's ever tried to glow up on a budget or found themselves Googling "Can I write off emotional damage on my taxes?" Welcome to the middle-messy, modest, and oddly comforting.
