I'm such a big fan of Rachel Bloom so I also got the audiobook that I'm listened to while reading it.. Actually I forgot to cancel audible so I had an extra credit that I needed to use and I think it was a good choice since I think the audiobook makes some of the jokes funnier when you hear them read by the lovely Rachel Bloom herself. For example one chapter was written as a manuscript for a musical and it was of course performed as an audio musical and I loved it! Another chapter was a HP-fanfic which I also think was funnier to hear her read. That chaper made me laugh in public since I was at a coffee shop when I read that chapter.
I took my time reading this over a few months and I'm glad I did that so the experience could last longer. It really was a comforting read that made me feel less alone. For me this book was a perfect fit since it covers topics I can relate to such as growing up wanting to become a musical theatre performer, growing up in the 90's/00's, not fitting in, struggling with mental health, being a woman etc. So if you can't relate to any of that, than maybe this book isn't for you. But for me, it made me feel less alone. And that's why I'm giving it 5 stars, and I hope yo return to it some day.
