I love everything Hannah Gadsby does and this is no exception. I will say that I felt the chronological retelling of her childhood slogged a little bit. Once I got through that and into her adult years, comedy, and creating Nanette I was absolutely hooked, could not put it down. I resonate with so many of Hannah’s experiences as a queer, autistic person who was socialized female. Highly, highly recommend. It also makes me want to rewatch Nanette (and maybe listen to the audiobook of this!).

Thanks to Random House for the free copy of this book.

 - TEN STEPS TO NANETTE is one of the best memoirs I've ever read. Hannah Gadsby is both funny and vulnerable, thoughtful and pulling no punches.
- I admired the way she navigated talking about some of the horrible things she has lived through, taking a stance of "you need to know about this event for storytelling purposes, but that does not entitle you to every last detail."
- I highly recommend the audiobook, read by Gadsby herself. You get the comedic timing and the emotional impact of her live shows, plus audio clips of her performing are added into the audio where relevant.

Like all things Hannah Gadsby, this is not at all a typical memoir. I like how she weaves the history of the gay liberation movement in Australia with her own story. And always the surprising twists where she suddenly draws together a bunch of images that I thought were random or unrelated. I love how her brain works!
