In Merrit's follow-up to his bestselling book, "I Take My Coffee Black," he shares his journey through cancer with humor and candid insight. Confronting a diagnosis that changed his perspective on life, he weaves together personal experiences and reflections on the fragility of existence.

"Life is a beautiful mess, and sometimes it takes something monumental to shake us awake," says Merritt. "This book is my love letter to that mess-full of laughter, tears, and everything in between."

When faced with a diagnosis that turned his world upside down, Merritt discovered a new understanding of what truly matters in life. With his signature wit and a love for pop culture, he crafts a compelling narrative that invites readers to journey along with him through a sobering and uplifting exploration of life's uncertainties as he confronts the reality of his diagnosis with optimism, urging us to embrace every moment and cherish the precious commodity of time.
