Gadsby has included content warnings at the start of this book. Please heed them!

I cannot imagine how someone so funny has been through this level of trauma in her life. Human resilience is remarkable but I wish humans, especially women/NBs wouldn’t have to be.

This book is as hilarious as the author but it doesn’t hold back when covering the horrifying nature of the crimes committed against her. How she manages to write them, let alone read them for the audiobook, I do not know.

This is a tough book to read at times. But it’s also wildly illuminating and very amusing at times.

I especially loved the insights into the world of comedy and performance. Gotta say, I’ve would have loved more on that.

Great writing and easy listening but those warnings are there for a reason.
