Multi-award-winning television writer and producer Georgia Pritchett knows a thing or two about anxiety. From worrying about the monsters under her bed as a child (Were they comfy enough?), to embracing womanhood, (One way of knowing you have crossed from girlhood to womanhood is that men stop furtively masturbating at you from bushes and start shouting things at you from cars. It's a beautiful moment) worry has accompanied her at every turn.

This memoir is a joyful reflection on just how to live - and sometimes even thrive (sometimes not) - with anxiety.

4 stars

3.5 stars

This book made me laugh, but it reads so quickly it’s easy to forget.

The structure of this book threw me for a loop because I was listening to it. If I’d been reading it on the page, the structure would have been obvious. Basically, Pritchett has collected dozens of short and very short anecdotes about her life. In the audio format, I think the longest was about 5 minutes and many were about one minute or less.

While giving laughs, the book is also poignant and sometimes sad. It provides real insight into life with anxiety, and I really appreciate that insight a great deal.
