Strangers Assume My Girlfriend Is My Nurse

De: Shane Burcaw

Narrado por: Kirby Heyborne

With his signature acerbic wit and hilarious voice, 20-something author, blogger, and entrepreneur Shane Burcaw is back with an essay collection about living a full life in a body that many people perceive as a tragedy. From anecdotes about first introductions where people patted him on the head instead of shaking his hand, to stories of passersby mistaking his able-bodied girlfriend for a nurse, Shane tackles awkward situations and assumptions with humor and grace.

On the surface, these essays are about day-to-day life as a wheelchair user with a degenerative disease, but they are actually about family, love, and coming of age.

This is an excellent book

This is an excellent read if you like a good laugh and even some tears and a truly romantic story

Great True Story

I really enjoyed Both of those auto books... The narrator read this Perfect... The ending was a little different... I hope there will be more books like this one written.

Funny read

Wonderful book, just as good if not better than his 1st. I would recommend to any readers

THE BEST

I absolutely LOVED this book !!!! Easy to listen to and keep up with

Hilariously Amazing!!

I came across Shane & Hannah’s story via their YouTube channel. They’re so open and hilarious and simply amazing to share their story. I pre ordered this book after hearing about it on their channel and I wanted to know more about their history and relationship. Shane does such an amazing job in this book, giving detailed looks at some of the most significant moments in their relationship. I literally laughed out loud at many of his tellings of certain events. Not only did he give a good picture of their history and how finding love impacted his life but also brought to my attention much of the preconceived ideas I find myself having when I see what turns out to be an inter-abled couple. It was definitely eye opening.
He cracks jokes at his writing skills but I think it was an excellently laid out book and I’m heading to purchase his first book right now.

amazing and heartwarming

loved it, wonderful writing and very funny! first book was also great, hope to see more. talented writer and entrepreneur

Great book by an awesome guy.

Shane Burcaw is a great author, an excellent youtuber, and someone whose presence in my life via silly internet videos and now two books has made my life better. He always brings a smile to my face, and it has nothing to do with his SMA. Shane has such a wonderful sense of humor that leaps off the page in his books and radiates through the screen in his videos. I highly suggest this book, his first book Laughing at my Nightmare, his YouTube channel Squirmy and Grubs, and anything else he's involved in. His uplifting positivity and humor is a great distraction from all the chaos around us every day. Stop considering buying this book and just freaking do it! haha.

Loved it!

I've been watching Squirmy & Grubs on YouTube for 2 months and looked forward to reading this book. What an amazing, intelligent, compassionate - and hilarious - couple! Shane's writing is just like him - warm, self-deprecating (in a good, funny way), brutally honest and intelligent. I only wish this book had lasted many more chapters because I didn't want it to end!

Easy listen, funny light hearted but lots of drama

I have been a fan of Squirmy and Grubs YouTube channel for many years but didn’t pick up the books. Wow, very impressed. I knew Shane was quick witted but it really shines through in this book. Also very thankful to know Shane curses IRL which i suspected lol. This is a story of someone who is just realizing their place in the world and the challenges that lead to overcoming that and obviously in relation to him having SMA. Relatable on so many levels. Loved the performance as well, hard to follow Shane whose voice and delivery we know so well.

so good

even better than his first book. i so enjoy reading and listening about Shane and his life. I hope he writes another memoir soon!
