What to expect
Cassidy Gard embodied the energy of a 2000s rom-com heroine, exactly what she envisioned as a teen watching journalist Andie Anderson in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Sharp, intuitive, and lit by ambition, she built a career at Good Morning America, navigating a hybrid world of investigative reporting, exclusive interviews with cultural icons, and the adrenaline of breaking national news.
Beneath the achievement was the generational trauma she carried as the daughter of a volatile alcoholic. A girl conditioned to survive by dimming her light, she was no longer willing to let her family’s dysfunction define her future.
At seventeen, she left Florida for New York City, craving expansion. What followed was a whirlwind of early YouTube journalism, the identity-shaping landscapes of Los Angeles and New York, and rising through the industry while battling anxiety, depression, and perfectionism. Serendipitously, a golden thread of run-ins with “The Rockstar,” her musical hero, appeared at pivotal moments like mystical guideposts, leading her toward new people, places, and possibilities.
As the world shut down, she woke up. An inner revolution pulled her toward conscious sobriety. She left the burnout loop for Montana sunsets, a cabin called Cosmic Goodness, and a partner lovingly nicknamed Squirrel she met on 2/22/22, followed by a metamorphosis into motherhood.
Critics Review
-
“Cosmic Goodness reminds you what I had to learn the hard way: life gets better the moment you stop trying to control everything, trust the pull inside you, and let yourself become who you’re meant to be.”
Mel Robbins, New York Times bestselling author and host of The Mel Robbins Podcast
-
“Paolo Sorrentino spoke of ‘The real, the useless and the unspeakable kind of love that brings pain, yet also forces you to start again.’ If you’ve had love and heartbreaks and are on road to rebirth, Cassidy Gard’s luminous memoir will accompany and inspire with wit, kindness, honesty and hard-fought wisdom. Plus all the Tinseltown wildness you could ask for.”
Junot Díaz, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
-
“Cosmic Goodness is a love letter to every woman who’s ever chased success and lost herself in the process. Cassidy writes with the precision of a journalist and the heart of a poet—transforming burnout into breakthrough, loneliness into light.”

Jo Piazza, bestselling author of Everyone Is Lying to You
