Some parts of this felt like a 5/5. Some felt like a 2.5/5. I zoned out a few times. I really do love HG, though. So I rounded my 3.5 average up to a 4. Also, I don't do math.

I try hard not to rate memoirs because they are so personal to the one writing it. I listened to this on Audible and I think hearing this in the author’s voice made it even better for me. This memoir provoked a range of emotions for me for Hannah.
I had watched all of Gadsby’s Netflix shows, starting with the most recent and working my way through the others in a mixed up chronological order. I instantly fell in love and, admittedly, became a bit obsessed with wanting to hear more from Hannah Gadsby, hence listening to this book. I was not disappointed. I laughed, I cried, I became incensed at what she and others have experienced at the literal hands of ignorant others.
I highly recommend listening to the audio version of this book as one wouldn’t quite catch the nuances otherwise.

Enjoyed getting to hear the book in the Gadsby's own words.
I especially liked the analysis of how she did her comedy and designed her shows.
When it was over, I missed getting to hear her voice in the evenings.

This is both a great companion piece to Nanette and a fantastic memoir in its own right. Gadsby's personality shines through in every line. A lot of topics are covered but I found it to be an especially insightful portrait of their experience as an autistic person. Overall, a really solid memoir and engaging read.
