Complete honesty: I didn’t really know who Felicia Day was when starting this book. It was picked for a book club and I’m a people pleaser.
BUT! I binged this in a day because she’s such an honest, funny, and good writer that it was easy to get into the the stories she was telling and her own experiences with the world, mental health, and community. What she had to say was relatable, even if you’re not a gamer, and really dialed into what she wanted readers to take away from the book and her experiences overall. I’m impressed with Day as a person and love that she owns up to a lot of her fears, insecurities, and actions because it takes a lot of humility to be able to say she recognizes that she played a part in the destruction of a few relationships or admit that her feelings were a superficial covering of how she truly felt about a situation that was easier to accept than the reality.
She’s quirky, she’s fun, she’s honest. Absolutely would recommend reading this memoir.
