I'm not smart enough to fully understand this book, but it made me so fucking sad. Every single line was a poetic punch in my stomach. It made me want to die I was so miserable.

A Funny Life by Michael McIntyre

emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted relaxing medium-paced

4.25

I already really like Michael, and I've been trying to get into more audiobooks lately, so this seemed like a good way to pass a few hours whilst working or going for walks. Michael's charming personality and sense of humor really shine through just as well as they do during his stand up shows, yet the final 'arc' (if a real person's life can be an 'arc') really shocked me altogether. A wonderful read.
