Perfect always takes so long because it don't exist
As always with James Acaster's books, I recommend the audio version. So funny I hurt my ribs laughing. Big thanks to the person on Spotify who compiled all the albums mentioned into a playlist so I have a wonderful 70+ hours of new music to listen to easily

this book was not at all what I expected. I love James Acaster as a comedian so much, and picked up this book as I was curious for new music suggestions. Also because it's bound to be funny (and in this aspect it most definitely did not disappoint). what surprised me was the frankness and openness with which the book discussed the topic of mental health (be sure to check trigger before reading). this made for an incredibly interesting read as Acaster discusses the between links mental health and music in an accessible way for the reader. also, the book contains pre-made playlists!!
