✨ Thrifted ✨

I really enjoyed Katy Wix on Taskmaster and was intrigued by the involvement of cake in her tales. Her vulnerability in this book shines through and I felt as though I knew her very intimately from reading about her traumas…

(e.g. the car crash with her father, her best friend committing suicide etc.)

🥲 Her grief process was so interesting and so cathartic to read, as I lost someone fairly recently and there were such striking similarities AND differences as to how we processed our losses. There was a moment where I gasped a little bit, because there is a quote that says ‘Known hells are preferable to strange heavens’ and that hit HARD. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Katy Wix, but also wanted to get to know grief and a comedian/actress’s process better ❤️
