About the Book

“This book is hilarious and that bitch made me laugh out loud.”—Chelsea Handler

A chaotically joyous collection of essays from one of the original influencers and the internet's sweetheart, Bretman "The Baddest" Rock.

Hilarious and earnest, this collection of essays, and never-before-seen photos goes far beyond what we know of Bretman Rock from social media. Who is Bretman Rock Sacayanan behind the screen and how did he become the original superstar influencer and today’s beloved best friend of the internet?

You're That Bitch welcomes you into Bretman Rock's world—from how his childhood in the Philippines, his family, Filipino culture, and being a first-generation immigrant helped shape him into who he is today. Peek into how Bretman became a social media sensation at the precocious age of 14, balancing living a glamorous jet-setting lifestyle on weekends while still serving lunch at his school’s cafeteria, running as a varsity track-star, and making honor roll during the week. With his signature honesty, this is an unfiltered and unprecedented look at what it means to be one of the first digital celebrities and that bitch---from dealing with cancel culture, drama and heartbreak, to what it means to love yourself and your community.

 From the funniest and undeniably cutest person on the internet, this is a book for the weirdos and for the bad bitches . . . this book is for you!  

Critical Praise

"Bretman Rock is one of the most original, influential voices on social media. This book is hilarious and that bitch made me laugh out loud." — Chelsea Handler

"This hilarious, impossible-to-put-down memoir takes readers on a roller-coaster ride through Bretman’s first two decades. Bretman writes...with humor and wisdom beyond his years. Getting to know the brilliant, multilingual, sensitive, rambunctious, and hilarious person behind the Bretman Rock brand is an undeniable treat." — Booklist (starred review)

"You’re That Bitch makes it seem impossible to dislike Bretman Rock. Each chapter reveals a new side to the social media star, cracking open a chamber of memories and allowing readers an unadulterated look inside. It’s equal parts memoir and self-help conveyed in the most entertaining, expletive-laced manner possible." — Vogue

"An unapologetically queer version of the sanitized beigeness of stories like Love, Simon. Compelling...in the relatively small pantheon of queer-of-color coming-of-age memoirs, it’s a unique perspective on emerging as a young public gay figure."
Buzzfeed

"A hilarious romp through his life, from how he became a social media phenomenon at 14 to his hustler spirit and spilling the tea around cancel culture, heartbreak, and lessons on how to love yourself." — Shondaland

"Filled with the sort of self-reflection and heartfelt self-help of someone who has processed the challenges of achieving digital fame." — InStyle Magazine

“Outrageously funny, yet grounded and authentic…his voice radiates pure confidence. This book is pure entertainment from the first pages to its last.” — The Nerd Daily
