If you're not familiar with her work, I would highly recommend watching some of her standup before committing to the full book - the utter blackness of her humour can be very confronting and may not be for everyone.
As a Maria Bamford fan, it's everything you could hope for. I listened to this with every spare moment I had over a few days and struggled to tear myself away from it.
I listened to the audiobook despite having bought a signed copy of this book at one of her shows. I will probably read the physical copy at some point to compare, but I adored the audio version (she does all the voices!)

Before beginning this book please think about whether it might be more than you’re prepared for. On the other hand it might be helpful for people with anxieties.abicaro17's review against another edition

Overall, it was interesting to read someone’s experience with mental health treatment, but it was made very obvious that it was from a privileged perspective. Some of the advice given was offensive at best and dangerous at worst (joining a cult, while on brand for the book is not a good idea for the majority).
