Really good and really informative! It was interesting to hear the thoughts from my favorite comedian Hannah Gadsby. You can really tell that she’s put a lot of reflection into her life and work. I’m someone who doesn’t always understand the touchy- feely subjects, but she made it make sense to me. Her reflections are also helpful to understand myself. But I would warn, of course - as she also does, that the book can be very triggering for mental illness. But it ends on a definite high note, in case that’s relevant to anyone. 

Overall funny and insightful, like Nanette. Would recommend.

Thanks to Random House for the free copy of this book.

 - TEN STEPS TO NANETTE is one of the best memoirs I've ever read. Hannah Gadsby is both funny and vulnerable, thoughtful and pulling no punches.
- I admired the way she navigated talking about some of the horrible things she has lived through, taking a stance of "you need to know about this event for storytelling purposes, but that does not entitle you to every last detail."
- I highly recommend the audiobook, read by Gadsby herself. You get the comedic timing and the emotional impact of her live shows, plus audio clips of her performing are added into the audio where relevant.
