Easily one of the most important books I've read this year. I feel silly saying this, but I didn't know memoirs of disabled people could be... like... fun? And playful? And hilarious? And snarky? And also no-nonsense, anti-ableist, and badass, all at the same time! I'm really grateful for Alice's work in the world, and in the way she role models disabled joy and reclaiming her own damn story.
