challenging dark emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

 I wanted to cry at some places. Not even the sad places but after she meets her husband because the whole thing plays out like a film where he's a little overwhelmed by her world but he sees the good in her and there's so much good in Ms. Pat. It's like watching a sitcom for 10 seasons and finally seeing the lead win without the other shoe dropping. The first half of this book is sad in a "she was a kid who deserved better" but it's this weird double edged sword because you can teach a child better but there's always outside influences at bay but she made it through and become my favorite comedian and the star of my favorite sitcom The Ms Pat Show

Recommended by a friend on bookstagram as part of the 12 in 12 challenge. PLEASE check the content warnings before reading. So glad I listened to this one as an audiobook, to hear Ms. Pat’s story told in her own words. It’s a raw and emotional read that will stick with me for a long time.
