Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded by Hannah Hart
3.0
My Drunk Kitchen was pretty much the only YouTube channel I subscribed to in college. Puns, cooking, drinking - what's not to love? I was curious to learn more about Hannah Hart, the journey that drove her to make the show and her experience as an internet personality. This book was a fast, easy read but one with unanticipated depths.
Her experiences as a latch-key kid, caring for her little sister as well as her schizophrenic mother from the age of 10 were heartbreaking to read. Her struggles grappling with a Jehovah's Witness upbringing and sexuality, and wisdom and forgiveness of negligent father figures were powerful. All of which was interspersed with punny humor and self awareness.
