No one likes it, but we all do it: fail. At ourselves, at each other, at the world, and of course at our expectations. Yet it's quite simple: when you hit the mediocre mark again, just greet it with a smile! In this book, Sarah Bosetti explores the many ways to comfortably nestle between success and failure during a New Year's Eve party—the night of failed existences. She tells stories of people who become actors because they just couldn't make it as waiters, of the attempt to stay afloat with water wings on, and of the realization that we all become Gollum when placed next to Scarlett Johansson. Honest, self-ironic, and very funny!.
