She fretted about \u003ci\u003eeverything\u003c\/i\u003e. Her age. Her size. Her romantic prospects. How likely it was that she would get hit by a bus on the way home. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil a couple years ago, when, in her mid-forties, she decided to fight back against her debilitating anxieties by spending a year doing little things that scared her—things that the average person might consider doing for a half second before deciding: \"nope.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThings like: attending a fellatio class. She did that. She also spent an afternoon in a sensory deprivation tank, got (legally) high in the middle of a workday, had a session with a professional cuddler, braved twenty-eight first dates, and (perhaps scariest of all) actually met someone who might possibly appreciate her for who she is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRefreshing, relatable, and pee-your-pants funny, \u003ci\u003eOkay Fine Whatever\u003c\/i\u003e is Courtenay's hold-nothing-back account of her adventures on the front lines of Mere Human Woman vs. Fear, reminding us that even the tiniest amount of bravery is still bravery, and that no matter who you are, it's possible to fight complacency and become bold, or at least bold-ish, a little at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown and Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47024609329392,"sku":"9780316395717","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780316395717_p0.jpg?v=1772804622","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780316395717","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
