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.

Really appreciate the way she told her story. There was a particular focus on context and a kindness toward the people and places that brought her up. Empathetic and insightful
Also way less triggering than I expected going in, as anyone who’s seen her work knows she’s been through a lot

Ten Steps to Nanette is a memoir of sorts by Australian comedian Hannah Gadsby.

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.

I’m not sure I can write the amount of emotion and understanding I received while reading this book. If you enjoyed Hannah’s show, this is an extension of that with much more.
