Wow! I don't like rating memoirs usually. Why would I rate how someone can write about their life especially if it includes periods of depression and trauma. To me it is a tremendous privilege that people share their innermost thoughts and I should not judge then for their thoughts.

That said as the program Nanette, this books roughly sketching (in more or less detail) the stages of Hannah Gadsby life. It is heartwarming and rough, traumatic and funny. It is a gut punch at time, a history lesson throughout and a treasured ode to neurodiverse queerfolk.

It's "all about the wonderful news of me"

challenging dark emotional funny informative reflective sad slow-paced

Really good and really informative! It was interesting to hear the thoughts from my favorite comedian Hannah Gadsby. You can really tell that she’s put a lot of reflection into her life and work. I’m someone who doesn’t always understand the touchy- feely subjects, but she made it make sense to me. Her reflections are also helpful to understand myself. But I would warn, of course - as she also does, that the book can be very triggering for mental illness. But it ends on a definite high note, in case that’s relevant to anyone.

Overall funny and insightful, like Nanette. Would recommend.
