Failure Is Not NOT an Option

""""""Failure Is Not NOT an Option is the real deal. One of life's great lessons is to never give up on yourself, and this book is that mantra personified. Patrick's honesty, huge heart, and humor shine through. It's a great read that will leave you uplifted and inspired."""" —Bridget Everett, actress, comedian, singer, and star of HBO's Somebody Somewhere """"Patrick's story is just like the man himself: hilarious, loving, generous, exhausting, brilliant, endlessly entertaining, and ridiculously fun. He is living proof that every so-called failure is another chance to master something even more important: life."""" —Martha Plimpton, Emmy Award–winning actress and activist """"Not all of us are blessed with the relentless, indefatigable, never-give-up gene that propelled Patrick to approach and conquer a less-than-welcoming world with his wonderfully open and vulnerable heart . . . Knowing Patrick, it's no surprise that his memoir is funny, funny, funny. What I didn't expect was to find myself cheering lustily for him as I approached the final pages of his deliciously entertaining, deeply personal book with tears running down my cheeks."""" —Eric Marcus, founder and host of the award-winning Making Gay History podcast """"I cannot count the number of times I laughed out loud reading Patrick's hilarious, heartfelt memoir, and my amazement at learning we had so much in common . . . Reading this book is like spending time with the sweetest, funniest friend you have and not wanting it to end. You'll find yourself rooting for Patrick through every failure, and falling in love with his big, gay heart."""" —Rabia Chaudry, attorney and author of Adnan's Story and Fatty Fatty Boom Boom""
