Told through anecdotes chronicling various events from a young girl well into adulthood, Georgia Pritchett weaves together her experiences with anxiety. At times heartbreaking but mostly funny, Pritchett's humor and wit shine through. 

I appreciate the honesty and raw human experience Pritchett shares in this book. I laughed a whole bunch, shed some tears, and smiled at how it all came together in the end.

Her talent with words is prevalent & I look forward to checking out her work in television.

very easy read but nothing too life changing, to me. was initially a bit put off by the vignette format but it works well for the story. however some of them did feel like tweets which i did not enjoy.
