Hilarious & witty, raw & painful, while informative & eye-opening. Thank you, Hannah, for such an important, honest book.
It’s like Nanette the Netflix special - both funny and gut wrenchingly sad at the same time.
An original voice, so wonderful to hear read by the author herself! I learned a lot about autism, trauma, and so much else. Beautiful prose in parts; lots of profanity too.

Loved this so hard. I’m pretty easy with giving 5 stars, if I have enjoyed the reading process, then 5 stars. This time I feel I need to give 6 stars. Hannah Gadsby is just an amazing superstar.
Even though I’m an Aussie, it took me a little bit to adjust to listening to an Australian accent. I mostly only listen to American Audiobooks. But soon enough I adjusted and I found myself unconsciously talking like her. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
This book is part memoir and part talking about the making of her Netflix comedy special Nanette. I loved hearing more details about the personal stories shared in her special. I also loved hearing about her process of writing it and what happened after and how she handled it all.
It was really interesting to hear a memoir from someone only 3 years older than me, and from my own country. So many things were relatable.
I strongly connected to her regarding trauma, mental illness and neurodivergence. It was fascinating hearing someone talk about the interplay of all three. She educated me and helped me to understand the struggles behind sexuality and gender identity issues and homophobia.
I have rewatched both her Netflix specials and this book has given me some new found depth and understanding as to why her approach was so groundbreaking and important.
I’ll continue to consume any and all content she publishes. Highly recommend.

I watched Nanette on Netflix before I read this, which was a helpful thing to do. I can recommend Gadsby's standup specials, and if you don't like those, you probably won't like this memoir. But I did. And I did not have the reaction that I sometimes have to memoirs, which is that by the time I am done, I am really sick of the person who wrote it.
On a personal note, reading this helped me understand one of my children a whole lot better.
