I’ve loved all her specials, have seen her live, and still, this book was wildly funny, shed insights on her life, and was radically transparent about mental health, recovery and the finances of being a comic

This book was phenomenal. I’ve been a Maria Bamford fan for over a decade, and her humor has always hit me in all the goofiest and darkest spots. Her experiences with OCD, ED, SI, depression, anxiety, and addiction is relatable to me in a way I’ve never seen. I’ve also spent a lot of time in 12 step halls and she had me cackling outloud in my office commenting on how ridiculous those meetings can be.  She’s bold and hilarious and brave and flawed. I felt extremely seen by this book.
