I highly recommend listening to the audiobook version of this memoir. Tom reads it himself, and it really feels like sitting down with him over a cup of tea and listening while he tells his story.
It was everything I wanted in terms of Harry Potter content, plus so much more in terms of Tom’s life and experiences outside of Potter.
He speaks about everyone in his with a reverence that is really special and kindhearted. It was a joy to listen to!
I really respect how openly he speaks about addiction and mental illness in the book.
This book far surpassed any expectations I had of it, and left me hoping to read more from Tom in the future!
