Just like Norm, it’s funny, meandering, and full of nothing. Loved it.

Very funny and much more entertaining than a straight memoir. Could've done without the small bit of transphobia, but at the same time "only *dudes* can be that sexy" got a laugh out of me & feels way more progressive than the usual lazy trans joke.

This is very "Norm" - if you don't know what that is it's probably not for you. Didn't really like the ghostwriter conceit and it peters out by the end, but as a mechanism for Macdonald to deliver jokes it's pretty great in the main. Get the audiobook narrated by Norm.
