Critics Review
“I have often imagined a life in which my only job is to do whatever Emily V. Gordon tells me. Super You answers all my prayers, making frustratingly abstract being-a-person problems totally manageable.” –Tavi Gevinson, founder and editor-in-chief of Rookie magazine “Super You isn’t a self-help book–it’s a manual for badassery. You may never fly or travel through time (drat!), but this book will help you develop your very own special set of super powers. Get ready to get awesome.” –Aisha Tyler, actress, comedian, cohost of CBS’s The Talk, host of Whose Line is it Anyway?, and author of Self-Inflicted Wounds: Heartwarming Tales of Humiliation “Emily’s drive and confident attitude make her a formidable foe for failure.” –ModCloth “I have often imagined a life in which my only job is to do whatever Emily V.
