If you love Maria Bamford, you will no doubt love this book! It’s as fun, twisted, sad and (potentially) relatable as you’d expect. Oftentimes I found myself pivoting from tears to laughs (within the same paragraph). My main problem with Sure, I’ll Join Your Cult is that it takes a few chapters to get into the rhythm of Maria’s writing style but once you’re tuned in, it’s a breeze!

5.0

Probably the funniest book I have listened to in a long time. As Maria Bamford bravely recounts her many adventures with group therapies and twelve step programs from debtors anonymous to couples therapy. Maria openly shares about her struggles with antidepressants, our healthcare system when it comes to mental health help and so much more. Although none of those topics sounds funny, trust me this book will have you laughing. 
Highly recommend, especially if you are depressed and need a laugh at the world and other situations.
