Kiersten Lyons' "Crushed": The Memoir That Gets Heartbreak Right
In her debut memoir Crushed: The Boys That Never Liked Me Back, Kiersten Lyons proves herself to be a rare literary voice, one that balances self-deprecating wit with emotional clarity. Best known as an actress and comedian, Lyons brings the same comedic timing and candid storytelling to the page that has earned her a devoted following online. This memoir is part heartbreak comedy, part coming-of-age confessional, and entirely unforgettable.
