Witty, scathing, honest, deeply affecting… Multi-award-winning television writer and producer Georgia Pritchett’s memoir is an encapsulation of ‘all the feels’. Subtitled ‘adventures in anxiety’, a series of brilliant vignettes deftly traces Georgia’s journey from an awkward child worried about the comfort of the monsters under her bed to that same anxiety-riddled kid lurking in an adult body, busily navigating the myriad challenges of parenting, loving, and surviving as a female comedy writer pre-#MeToo (and pre-pretty much any tolerance of difference). Along for the ride are a mixed bag of family members, pets, and Statler & Waldorf-style critics. A must-read.
