I have been a long time fan of Maria’s comedy and went into this book expecting some greater understanding of her as a person and a couple laughs. I got so much more. It is honest and introspective. There are very transparent stories of her experience with OCD and I found it challenging to listen to at these parts but pushed through because it felt she was speaking to my exact experiences.
Maria makes sure to keep herself and the listener grounded with sometime dark, sometimes light hearted, sometimes both comic relief. I listened to this while cleaning and making dinner after work and it was cathartic. I would personally recommend listening as all visual elements are in a pdf and you get to hear neat special effects and all the amazing Maria voices you may know and have come to love or have not yet heard and will soon love.
