Ten Steps to Nanette is Hannah's brutally honest memoir where she openly talks about her unusual childhood growing up in Tasmania, where it was illegal to be gay until 1997, her uphill battle to attain her ASD diagnosis as an adult, a mountain of trauma she experienced, her life as a comedian and all the funny nitty gritty bits in-between.
This isn't an easy read by any means and I spent huge sections spiraling from crying with laughter to tears of genuine sorrow at some of Hannah's experiences. But, what is clear is that Hannah has an amazingly powerful and poignant story to tell which everyone needs to hear and learn from. It's not doom and gloom as Hannah has a real talent in making even the darkest of situations have some comedic value. So do yourself a favour and go watch Nanette on Netflix and then pick up Ten Steps to Nanette on audiobook for a truly enlightening giggle.

Not sure if it would have been “better” to have already seen Nanette, but I hadn’t and I loved it.

Just, yknow. All the warnings. Heed the triggers provided at the start of the book. It’s carefully packaged, but triggers are triggers.liormaleficent's review
