This lives up to its title. For how short it is, this book should have been an easier listen. I get that being weird and expressing herself in a way that felt fun and comfortable to her, but I cannot tell you a single idea from this book aside from the fact that Slate grew up in a haunted house in New England and I think she was once broken up with the day before Valentine's Day.
This is my bible. It will forever be a lighthouse for me.
As someone who's deeply insecure of the way I think — fearing it being too simple-minded and juvenile. I needed this book in my life. I often thought of my looseness as a form of unpolished character, messy and strange and wild. But miss Jenny Slate altered some serioussss brain chemistry with this one.
Truly one of the most moving books I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Thank you Jenny Slate, for teaching me to protect all of my little weirds. <3

Jenny Slate writes in a stream of consciousness that invokes a sense of nostalgia for something unknown. Her magical realism asks you to consider what perceptions of yourself and the world matter, and why not break the mold? It left a bittersweet hopefulness in my mouth, a longing for crumbling rustic houses with an unshakable sense of home in my mind, and a soft, flickering flame of possibility in my heart.
I quit within the first 5 minutes after hearing the bashing the author did of our current president.

Such a unique and poetic memoir! Especially loved the bits about her friendships with other women and her post-divorce grief. Fast but moving read.

I loved this book. Loved it so hard. I found myself reading slow on purpose, trying to savor it, knowing I’d be so sad when it ended. This book changed the way I see myself and others. I’m struggling to find the words right now to fully encompass all that this book meant to me. It put hope back into my heart and helped me believe that maybe life is actually worth it. And GOD did it make me proud to be a woman. It’s the sort of book that leaves you having kind thoughts towards even the most irritating of humans. And any book like that gets an immediate 5 stars from me.
