For readers who wish Eat, Pray, Love had a cynical streak comes a propulsive, wildly original memoir about a journalist’s quest to conquer depression and addiction, set against the backdrop of international adventures and modern communal living.

“A compelling and compulsively readable tale told in a funny, deeply human voice...Schwartz guides readers through a page-turning journey that will be all too relatable to anyone who’s struggled with mental health issues.”Kirkus

"Sharp, lively, evocative prose, laced with wit and powered by rare candor, immerses readers in each moment...Schwartz’s dedication to the truth is inspiring."Publishers Weekly BookLife

“The best memoirs hold up a mirror not just to an author but also to a culture at large. I'll Try Anything Twice achieves both. It’s a story for anyone longing for connection in these disconnected times.”—Hope Edelman, New York Times best-selling author of Motherless Daughters and The Possibility of Everything

"The author's unflinching self-awareness made this book stand out from others in the genre. The tone balances dark humor with accountability, which is hard to pull off but powerful when done well."Readers' Favorite, 5-star review
