I loved this!
This was brilliantly written. Told in non-linear vignettes, Pritchett unravels the many stories and experiences that make up her life to explain why she might perhaps be feeling anxious.
I'd never heard the name before, so it was great to learn about all the TV work she's done over the years. As a TV comedy writer, it's not surprising her memoir was the first book to make me laugh in a very long time (though my reads to tend to verge on the darker side).
I really admired her spirit and sense of self – she broke into a misogynistic, male-dominated industry, put up with a lot of shit and still works doing what she loves.
The exploration of grief and navigating family relationships was very poignant too.
