This is one of my favorite memoirs that I have read, and I LOVE memoirs. It is raw and funny and hard-hitting all at the same time. The author is brutally honest about who she is and what her life has been like: the realities of autism, being gay, and what it's like to be "different". Many parts of this book made me feel seen and understood and I enjoyed reading the parts that I couldn't relate to as it gave me more insight into this brilliant comedian. Hannah goes into many darker topics such as sexual assault, violence, homophobia, fatphobia, and misogyny, so do look up trigger warnings before reading. That being said, I do highly recommend this book.

Like Nanette, this is not an easy read (or listen). She has had more trauma in her 40-some years than really one person really should endure. But her matter-of-fact, almost brutal way of telling her story needs to be heard. It is a story full of trauma, which is a sad reality for far too many people, especially neuro-diverse and LBGTQ+ and women.
I recommend first watching Nanette, and then read this book. And then go watch Douglas.

Hannah Gadsby has suffered a lot of trauma. Please be forewarned that she does discuss multiple incidents of trauma.isnotacrayon's review against another edition

And the parts that worked for me. Wow. Just wow. The part where she
Recommended for: Everyone honestly. Despite her saying some things I vehemently disagree with, we are all human and have all erred. Despite that content, if you have watched and enjoyed Nanette, it would be a crime not to read this. And if you haven't watched Nanette, what the fuck are you doing with your life, dude? Get on that!
