You'll Be Sorry When I'm Dead by Marieke Hardy

5.0

This really was one of the best autobiographies/memoirs/collections of essays I've ever read. Traversing territory from heartbreaking to hilarious, you feel almost like a voyeur for reading. Hardy lays not only her heart on her sleeve, but her liver, kidneys and grey matter too. She can be both insightfully witty and achingly poignant. It's a rare thing for a writer to be able to successfully depict such a broad spectrum of human emotion. I loved this book like it was a person that I wanted to become best friends with, having champagne picnics under fireworks and then subsequent hungover breakfasts of entire packets of oreos and bloody Marys. I want you to read this book too, and then talk about it with me and we can be best friends and perform the aforementioned activities.
