This witty and engaging collection of essays from the charismatic star of Southern Charm offers rip-roaring stories and tongue-in-cheek advice on everything from relationships to travel to popular culture and beyond. Perfect for fans of authors as wide-ranging as Andy Cohen to Tucker Max.

Shep Rose, star of Southern Charm and owner of Shep Gear, shares this irreverent and relatable collection of lessons and anecdotes about living an untamed, genuine life, raising hell yet having fun along the way. With his signature endearingly snarky voice, he explores topics as varied as the trials and tribulations of being a late bloomer, the ins and outs of ghosting, how to talk about politics without resorting to blows, the dos and don’ts of getting drunk abroad, and much more.

Shep has caroused around the world, from Hong Kong to Dubai to the mean streets of Charleston, and the fact that he hasn’t been the subject of a Locked Up Abroad episode defies all logic. Average Expectations is a chronicle of one lucky SOB and the exploits that got him where he is today, with advice and stories that will help unleash your inner rabble-rouser, inspire you to live an untamed life, and remind you that at the end of the day, life is all about having fun, having a laugh, and, most important of all, being in on the joke.

I knew Shep was intelligent, but I always thought (based solely on Southern Charm) that he was too aloof to be likable. That said, I was pleasantly surprised by this book - Shep’s writing is real, down-to-earth, funny, and fully entertaining. I have a new appreciation for you, Shep.

Surprisingly Good

I've been a fan of Shep's (good or bad) since the beginning of "Southern Charm" and this is a perfect example of why! He IS who he IS, is comfortable with it and makes no apologies for it! The book isn't a great work of literature, but it's funny & entertaining...a nice, easy listen that you'll enjoy if you're a "SC"/Shep/reality TV fan!

Loved it!

It is a fantastic audio book. I’m a fan of Shep’s, so finding his book enjoyable - read by him- went along with my expectations. I have recommended it to a few friends. I hope he writes another book. It felt like a really well done and longer than average podcast. Easy listening and kept my interest. Nice job, Shep.

Great listen.
