Agorafabulous!: Dispatches from My Bedroom by Sara Benincasa
4.0
This book is literally laugh out loud funny but as a disclaimer, there are also parts that will make you cringe. (The first example is on the second page, and is the most disturbing depiction of suicide ever. It's not graphic but it's such a horrible way to die that it stuck with me throughout the rest of the book---and will probably stick with me forever.)
Even besides being really funny, it's also thought-provoking. I always say that I'm about two steps away from being agoraphobic because I am such a hermit that it's not even funny. Turns out that if that's true, those are two very important steps.
I admire Sara Benincasa so much for the things that she shares in this book. She's very willing to expose her life---even the parts that make her look...well, weird. SO much respect for that, because I have such a hangup on how people perceive me.
Highly recommended.
