Reviews"Hoppus has a knack for storytelling, which will come as no surprise to fans of the band's eminently quotable lyrics." -- Los Angeles Times "Hoppus' raw, hilarious, and unflinchingly honest memoir chronicles his life and career, beginning when he was just a kid coping with his parents' bitter divorce before following him as he constantly moves around the country, struggles to figure out his identity, and eventually meets his best friend and musical soulmate Tom DeLonge." -- Entertainment Weekly "Hugely entertaining and very well written, in a wisecracking, smart-ass style..." -- The Guardian "Hoppus opts for being open about his relationship with his divorced parents, his relationship to mental health and, arguably, the most impactful relationship in his life - the one he has with his blink-182 bandmate Tom Delonge." -- NPR "Fahrenheit-182 is a funny, engaging and heartfelt reflection on everything from Hoppus's early years growing up in the California desert and the boisterous beginnings of Blink, to the band's ups and downs and eventually his battle with cancer." -- People "While the memoir dives deep into his upbringing, path to stardom and health journey, it's also a love letter to his longtime bandmates, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker, and their loyal fan base." -- Us Weekly "Hoppus gets real about his feelings." -- Complex

Synopsis***The Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller!*** A smart, funny, and refreshing memoir from Mark Hoppus, the vocalist, bassist, and founding member of pop-punk band blink-182. This is the story of an angst-filled kid from the desert, navigating the chaos of his parents' bitter divorce and searching for his place in the world. Each move across the country was a chance to reinvent himself, switching identities from dork to goth to skate punk, and eventually meeting his best friend who just so happens to be his musical soulmate. With sharp humor and raw honesty, Fahrenheit-182 takes readers through Mark's formative years as a latchkey kid in the 1980s, hooked on punk rock, skateboards, and MTV. Along the way, Mark reflects on his lifelong battle with anxiety, his celebrated career with blink-182, and his public fight with cancer, in a voice that's both relatable and unmistakably his own. Threaded with heartfelt grit, Fahrenheit-182 is more than just a memoir for blink-182 fans. It's a funny, smart, and deeply human story for anyone who's struggled, reinvented themselves, wanted to quit but kept going.
