Publisher's Summary
Your future is not guaranteed. And isn't that f--king freeing? If you found out you had less time to live than the average bear, how might you spend it?
That's a question comedian Michelle Brasier has been asking herself since her dad died of cancer, then her brother, and she was told there's a high chance she'll get it too. She's only young (oh my god so young, and such great skin) but she has been through a lot and it's taught her to live each day like it's her last—because it just might be.
From teenage fumblings in the back of a car in Wagga Wagga (teen pregnancy capital of Australia), to performing with Aunty Donna and her own sell-out comedy shows, Michelle invites you into the highs (seeing Jason Momoa drinking a Guinness next a classic car in SoHo) and the lows (getting dumped ¾ of the way through Pirates of the Caribbean).
It's an examination of the tiny things and the big things—how much it hurts to be a woman and a person, and how funny it is to try and get into shapewear and how funerals are silly. It's self help for those of us who hate self help. A bit of a laugh and a bit of a cry. Balance. Yoga in the morning, whisky in the evening.
Heartbreaking and hilarious, My Brother's Ashes are in a Sandwich Bag moves between grief and joy, reminding us that life's too short to be taken seriously.
‘Michelle Brasier can write. This book is painful. gut wrenching and incredibly funny. Her writing is insatiable. Loved this book.' – Tanya Hennessy, author of Am I Doing This Right?

The queen of Australian comedy and grief greifmedy comerief…..saddy saddy haha
This hits hard, in so many different angles that you’ll laugh cry and think in cliches a must read for anyone who has lost a person and does not know how to look at life that same, spoiler you don’t have to you can embrace the flaws of people, learn and fly forward at a blistering pace
That’s what this book does to you. Hard to write a review when everyone will have a deep personal relationship with the contents that no one else can comprehend
But Michelle would listen and you would feel heard
Pretty good word smithing from a girl from Wagga Wagga

Funny honest & couldn’t stop listening
Loved this honest memoir. It was funny and touching and Michelle’s warm honest and genuine view of the world despite loss gives us some honest truths to aspire to . Great that you don’t forget that you are a girl from Wagga but wowing far and wide . A beautiful tribute to the love you have for your dad and your beautiful brother. Go Michelle you rock .
