Despite dealing with some pretty heavy topics—depression, dysfunctional parental relationships—this book felt light and amusing most of the time. I particularly appreciated the reflection on the way depression can distort memories, so that only the bad parts are highlighted and the good is nearly forgotten. There were times when my attention started to drift while listening, though I can’t pin down quite why, but overall it was a rewarding read.
Moderate: Mental illness and Abandonment
Minor: Fatphobia
