From one of the most celebrated and beloved comedians and
actors of our time, George Lopez, comes this hilarious,
touching, and often wacky chronicle of life after
fifty.
George Lopez just hit the
half-century mark and the reset button on his life.
Newly single and ready to embrace life, George was excited
to turn fifty. It would be a welcome new phase in his life,
a chance to say goodbye to a decade that included a kidney
transplant and a divorce. But when he looked around a room
full of his childhood friends, all gathered to celebrate his
birthday, many now bald or overweight, it suddenly hit him
that he was old.
What happened? And more
importantly, what was he going to do about it? George
learns the hard way that when you turn 50, everything
changes. You pull a muscle in your sleep. You avoid mirrors
at all costs, and always, always wear a robe. You
have to schedule an appointment to have sex. You have to dye
your hair and buy a bathtub with a door.
As George learns to embrace life after fifty, he invites
readers into his world, sharing the ups and downs of getting
older—from his relationship with a much younger woman to a
bizarre session with a pet psychic, to a trip
behind-the-scenes at his tumultuous two years at Lopez
Tonight, to an intimate look at his sacred ground, the
golf course—and, for the first time, he reveals in moving
detail, the story of the battle for his life against kidney
disease.
I’m Not Gonna Lie
will make you laugh at yourself, cry about
yourself, and look at turning fifty in a way you never
would’ve imagined—through the eyes of George Lopez.
