I loved this. I believe you need to watch Nanette before reading it, but now I’m going to go and watch Nanette again with this supporting it.  I found some parts difficult to read and the timeline jumped around a little, I could have done with more markers indicating the time shift.
All up a good book that is so revealing and important for all people to read to learn more about both neurodiversity and sexuality and the impacts the ‘norms’ have on those who identify as either or both.
Thank you Hannah.

What a great book! It’s terribly sad, and very emotional, but also engaging and a bit inspiring. If you’ve watched the show, you know what to expect.

Bloody funny and emotional but also bloody long. I genuinely really enjoyed it but I do wish some parts were edited down just a liiiittle bit more, but I can see with a story this personal it must've been hard to cut it down. If you liked Nanette then you'll obviously like this.

Haven't looked into all the Pablo Picasso stuff but the "feedback" I read on it reinforces my opinion that most people would rather dog pile on someone for laughs or to signal that they're "smart" and "hip" and "cool" instead of having a single nuanced brain cell. If you didn't like whatever Hannah was saying with the Picasso exhibit just say that and move on, or just don't say anything at all! I'm tired of cruel takes. Anyways this was a good memoir and I'd read another one.
