PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
by Taira Soo (Author)
Just a Little Buzzed is a sharp, emotionally honest memoir about survival, identity, and starting over-told with grit, humor, and an unflinching heart.
Taira Soo grew up as the daughter of Thai and Chinese immigrants in a desert town where fitting in meant constant reinvention. Then came the performance career, the kids' clothing brand, the burnout, a cancer diagnosis, and a buzzcut that became more than medical necessity-it became a symbol of reclaiming her voice.
Told in compressed, off-script chapters, Just a Little Buzzed blends memoir, cultural commentary, and radical personal reflection. This isn't a cancer memoir. It begins with illness but becomes about everything after-ambition, belonging, resilience, and the quiet power of reinvention.
For readers drawn to stories of creative burnout, immigrant family complexity, and hard-won second chances, Just a Little Buzzed is proof that sometimes the mess becomes the map.
Perfect for readers who loved Crying in H Mart, The Recovering, and Know My Name.
