I'm Just a Person by Tig Notaro

5.0

I love Tig Notaro so much; her dry, witty comedy is 100% up my alley. Her documentary on Netflix has brought me to tears more times than I care to tell, and Live is one of my favorite comedy albums. When I heard she was writing a book I knew I had to have it, and it was better than I expected it to be. It was way different from what I was anticipating, but in the best way possible. I recently lost my dad to cancer, and reading her struggle after losing her mom, her thoughts, feelings and emotions were all familiar to me and it honestly helped me tremendously to read someone I admire so much having the same experiences that I did. Then reading her reaction to being diagnosed with cancer gave me insight into what my dad must have been going through, his thoughts, feelings and fears. It was overwhelming and healing, and incredibly powerful.

I loved this book so much for so many different reasons, and I would definitely recommend reading it.
