In her highly anticipated nonfiction debut, comedian Kelly Bandas uses her trademark humor to recount stories of growing up and becoming a semifunctional adult in a dysfunctional world. Raised in a devoutly Catholic home, Kelly Bandas spent her entire childhood trying hard not to tick off “the man” or the Lord. And for the most part, she crushed it. But as she got older and began to navigate what it looked like to truly live in a world where gender roles, race, and politics weren’t always so black and white, Kelly realized that her former worldview was beginning to feel like that pair of Forever 21 jeans that used to glide effortlessly over her hips but now required a lot of stretching and acrobatic maneuvering to shimmy into place. And she’s not alone. In Rookie Mistakes, Kelly shares stories of growing up in a church-centered, male-dominated society and how those experiences shaped and primed her for a new chapter of life.

Rookie Mistakes is the call-to-action millennial women everywhere have been waiting for.

Don't sleep with demons or priest, and especially not priests who become demons, and especially not demons who happen to be your ex. Everyone knows that love is blind, but even Riona Dade knows it's supposed to be with a mortal. That's true even if you are a witch with the ability to magically slay the scum of Hell. But when you find out your ex-boyfriend was a demon, you should probably take your lesson about falling for the wrong guy. Probably. It's a great theory, anyway. But if there's one thing Riona can do well, it's picking the wrong guy. With the help of Greek Gods, practical joke-loving archangels, and her fellow Pure Souls, Riona faces down challenge after challenge, both to her heart and to her head. Seems the reluctant witch plays a key part in a prophecy, one that has her pitted against the Devil at every turn. The Devil isn't quite what he used to be, though, and by the time Riona is through, neither one of them will be the same again.
