Why did I love this book?
If you’re familiar with the comic Lou Sanders, you will know she is frank, funny and unashamed. In her memoir she is completely honest about her messy past and takes the reader on her journey to sorting her shit out.
It’s often heartbreaking but she still always manages to make you laugh and you’re rooting for her and will come away from it understanding her better and maybe forgiving yourself for any rough patches you might have gone through. It’s ultimately about how we all stumble through life but keep picking ourselves up, and how it’s better to laugh about it all, which is something I try to do in my own writing.
