You're Never Weird on the Internet by Felicia Day
5.0
It is not very often I come across a book where it is decidedly so that the author is talking about me directly; however, Felicia Day did just that. On more than one occasion I had to verbally tell her to get out of my head! I respect her open nerdyness... I only wish I allowed my nerd to come out much sooner in my life. I think I would have been happier and I would gave gone after a different set of dreams.
To say this was an easy read does not really do this book justice. Felicia writes (and thinks) like I do so the flow of her writing was so "me" that I flew through the book in less than two days. This has happened with only one other "celebrity persona" Lauren Graham.
Day works through her life from early childhood until present day (at least through a couple of years ago). She takes us on an honest journey of reality. We watch her chase her dreams and fail. We watch her chase her dreams and succeed. We get to view her life and see that she in fact is human too. We are all flawed, and that's okay. Embrace being weird.
Going into this book, I didn't actually now a lot about Felicia Day. I had seen her arc on Supernatural as Charlie, and thought she was quirky and fun. I know she said she was on Buffy the Vampire Slayer; however, I cannot recall her character for the life of me (and that's pretty sad since I watch Buffy/Angel almost every year). I had never seen Eureka (no cable), and I had never heard of The Guild (I wasn't kidding when I told you I tried to deny my inner nerd!)
If you've ever felt "not quite normal" this is the book for you! Her memoir has encouraged and motivated me to chase the dreams that make me happy. Throw perfectionism out the window and live (and love) life.
If I could give six stars I would.
Happy Reading!
