Normally, This Would Be Cause for Concern: Tales of Calamity and Unrelenting Awkwardness, (Paperback)

A warm, witty memoir from Danielle Fishel, the beloved star of the '90s sitcom Boy Meets World and its spin-off Girl Meets World, offering an honest look at growing up on television--and laughing through life's most awkward moments.

Best known as Topanga Lawrence on the beloved '90s sitcom Boy Meets World, Danielle Fishel spent seven years joining millions of viewers in their living rooms every Friday night. Offscreen, her life has been just as memorable--if far messier. From disastrous auditions and dating misfires to cringe-worthy red-carpet moments, Danielle's journey proves that even successful actresses face their share of embarrassing setbacks.

Written with charm, candor, and a generous sense of humor, this memoir embraces imperfection in all its forms. Danielle shares stories of social missteps, romantic mishaps, and public faux pas with a refreshing honesty that makes her instantly relatable. Whether she's recounting a mortifying fall, an ill-timed bodily betrayal, or an unforgettable brush with celebrity, she approaches every moment with humor and heart.

Lighthearted, uplifting, and laugh-out-loud funny, this essay-style memoir celebrates resilience, self-acceptance, and the joy of not taking yourself too seriously--even when you've just face-planted in front of Ben Affleck.
