Bloody funny and emotional but also bloody long. I genuinely really enjoyed it but I do wish some parts were edited down just a liiiittle bit more, but I can see with a story this personal it must've been hard to cut it down. If you liked Nanette then you'll obviously like this.

Five stars without question. 

Amazing. Tear jerking. Hilarious. Heart breaking. Gut punching. Beautiful.

Hannah’s reflections on neurodivergence were incredibly powerful and timely for my own struggles with executive dysfunction and learning to accept myself for how my anxious OCD brain works. 

I’m struggling to find words for just how powerful this whole book is. I felt every word deep down. Hannah is a remarkable storyteller, writer, entertainer and commentator. It is truly a gift that she chooses to share her voice with us all.

This was incredibly good, and Gadsby is just as good a writer as she is performer. I was triggered and then laughing in the same breath more than I can count. Gorgeous book.
