Hannah Hart is lovely, earnestly kind, and often hilarious, and when read in her voice, this is a great companion to my drunk kitchen. but I worry non-fans will just find super-gross recipes and sweet but insubstantial self-help suggestions.

So charming and funny. There is a lot of wisdom squeezed in between the puns and drunken recipes.

A fun collection of drunken musings disguised as a cookbook. Not quite as hilarious as the YouTube sensation, but it has its moments.

It was a cute and very cheesy at times. I liked it for the nostalgia and puns.

I've never seen an episode of My Drunk Kitchen. I know of Hannah Hart because of a Netflix documentary about YouTube stars. She seemed interesting, so I thought her book would be, too. Sad to say, her brand of humor just doesn’t quite hit the mark with me.

Of course I know this isn't an actual cookbook, so I'm not even going to review her recipes. The life lessons left me feeling meh. So there's that.

If you love Hannah Hart, then you will love this book. If you haven't seen My Drunk Kitchen, then you should go watch that like yesterday.

This book had such an authentic Harto voice that I felt like I could hear her audibly reading it to me. (I don't hear voices regularly.) The puns, the groan-inducing "dad jokes," the heart-felt but off topic ramblings, the humor-laced approach to talking about truly difficult topics... it was all there in copious amounts. I smiled a LOT. I laughed a little bit. I cried a little bit. (Let it be noted that my tears were over something really stupid and personally sentimental, so it's highly unlikely that you will also cry while reading this book). It was a good time.

The book was split up into 4 parts (Kitchen Basics, Adultolescence, So This is Love, and Family and the Holidays) each filled with several "recipes" to face a range of situations. Want to whip up some nostalgia with a twist that apparently tastes like Chinese food? Try "PB&J&PC." Getting over a breakup? Go straight to "Tear... Ah Miss You." Needing support to deal with a broken relationship with your parents? "Let's Get Grilled (about your life choices)" is great for you! Want to see a picture of Mamrie Hart with hashbrowns in her hair? Flip to page 86. Yeah. As silly as these recipes were, Hannah's introductions to each section were sweet, insightful, and (dare I say) hart-felt.

Ultimately, my enjoyment of the book was definitely enhanced by my enjoyment of Hannah. This book might not fit everyone's style of humor, but it's definitely something I'm happy to have experienced. :)

Easily the best cookbook I've read that really about being in your 20s and not quite having it all figured out. Also the only cookbook I've read that includes a recipe for ordering Thai takeout.

If you're looking into reading this book then chances are you are at least somewhat familiar with the small package of witty spunk that is Hannah Hart. If not, then the first thing you need to do after reading this is reevaluate your life choices thus far. Now immediately do some research (a quick Google search should do the trick). After you curse the gods for not bringing you to her YouTube channel sooner, you're ready to begin falling in love with her.

I don't know enough about Hannah to recite her background but, having been an avid YouTube fan for the past handful of years (subscriber, not content creator), I can tell you this with absolute certainty: She is one of the most influential, humble, sincere, profound entertainers out there. Hannah's content will warm your soul and put a smile on your face and this book is the absolute embodiment of her kind and lighthearted soul; equal parts Hannah's Life Lessons and My Drunk Kitchen.

Whether you're an old fan of Hannah like me or a newbie to her greatness, there's no doubt in my mind that you'll love her and you'll love this book. There is always room for more Hartosexuals in the world. Maybe then it wouldn't be such a nasty place.
