My Mess Is a Bit of a Life by Georgia Pritchett
emotional
funny
fast-paced
5.0
After a counselling session where she finds herself lost for words, Georgia Pritchett follows her therapist's advice and starts writing. And we're very grateful she did.
A born worrier (are the monsters under the bed comfortable enough?), she recounts her life with anxiety, told in little vignettes, starting from early childhood into her adult years.
She talks about her childhood and adorably quirky family, her struggles at work in an industry that used to shut down women (when we still seriously asked if women could be funny), the challenges of conception and motherhood, raising neurodiverse children, anxiety, depression, and everything in between. It is endearing and intimate, incredibly funny with perfect comedic timing, and sometimes emotional.
It made me laugh out loud many times (in public), and cry (also in public) and I loved every bit of it.
Kuddos to the narrator for her great work too. I definitely recommend the audiobook
