Agorafabulous!: Dispatches from My Bedroom by Sara Benincasa
4.0
I'm a little biased towards Auntie Sara because I'm a fan of her comedy, having read her column on Wonkette for a while, then watched her awesome Youtube vids, so I'm not sure how objective I can be about the book.
I definitely have to give her props for exposing such personal information like this. I had heard some of it before in her act, and always assumed it was exaggerated, or just a story told for comic effect, but nope, actual crazy here! Hopefully people who are going through similar things can gain some inspiration from this and see someone was able to power through the crappiness.
The book itself is a little uneven, with some of the chapters being real page turners, and others feeling a bit rushed, but I never was bored while reading. This is truly saying a lot in my case, because I RARELY read non-fiction for fun. I feel like I know one of my favorite internet personalities a bit better now, and I hope she keeps on producing. And writing. Definitely writing.
