Elyse Myers is a writer and comedian who’s known to her twelve million followers as “The Internet’s Best Friend,” sharing relatable stories and comedic sketches and serving as an advocate for topics such as neurodivergence, impostor syndrome, body image, and more.

Whether she’s making people laugh with stories of disastrous dates or giving a voice to that awkward internal monologue many of us have, she has three simple goals behind everything she makes: To make people feel known, loved, and like they belong. She hopes that by sharing her authentic and unfiltered self with the world, others will feel comfortable doing the same.

In That’s a Great Question, I’d Love to Tell You, Elyse delivers a debut collection of deeply personal stories and hand-drawn illustrations, offering even more intimate reflections beyond what fans have seen on her social media, including: Spending 7 Minutes in Heaven accidentally friend-zoning her crush; How Lucy, the Magic 8 Ball keychain, changed her life by accident; Moving from California to Australia to Texas to Nebraska to like (maybe even love!) herself; How to Fold Hospital Corners in 10 EASY STEPS!—a practical guide and a rumination about…everything; The “meat cute” when she met her smoke show of a husband at a butcher’s counter in Australia—and how she revealed herself to be an emotional runner.
.
Plus, tales involving bad dates and is-this-a-dates; the tempting yet futile urge to reinvent yourself, panic attacks and escape hatches, and favorite pens and systems to use them, all while loving and letting yourself be loved, preferably at the same time.
