Sure, I'll Join Your Cult: A Memoir of Mental Illness and the Quest to Belong Anywhere by Maria Bamford
Content warning: mental illness, suicidal thoughts, eating disorder, death of parent, panic attack, institutionalization, childhood trauma
This was a very funny memoir by a very funny person. Bamford goes into some pretty heavy topics in a way that I found was incredibly raw and honest while incorporating her humor like layers of a flaky croissant. I highly recommend listening to the audiobook, read by Bamford. I usually don't like audiobooks with sound effects but the ones in this weren't distracting.
