What a great book! It’s terribly sad, and very emotional, but also engaging and a bit inspiring. If you’ve watched the show, you know what to expect.

I wish Hannah Gadsby - who is a smart, brave, funny artist - also knew how to do specific, time-stamped trigger warnings. Shit is grim in here.

Like Nanette but for an entire book.  Exceeded my expectations and I was already delighted to see that it was read by Hannah herself.

Hannah Gadsby is a wonderful storyteller and no one is better than her at dipping into grief and trauma in a way that is emotionally impactful but also safe, as she crafts humour into everything. I have not read another autobiography like it, and it’s a great, honest depiction of depression, autism, body image, small town Australia. If you can listen to the audio book you also get to listen to her impression of her mum which is a highlight. Loved this book.

Bloody funny and emotional but also bloody long. I genuinely really enjoyed it but I do wish some parts were edited down just a liiiittle bit more, but I can see with a story this personal it must've been hard to cut it down. If you liked Nanette then you'll obviously like this.

I need to buy a physical copy and annotate so much, I’ve never felt so seen and represented, especially when Hannah discusses her neurodiversity.
