Obsessed and will be buying it, no question.

Brené does her own narration and the way she's reading this book!!! I just wish every non-fiction writer did this where they slow down to emphasize parts (sometimes repeating, and expressing why), and adding little asides/anecdotes that aren't in the print.

Incredible.

God this book is just so good.

The aftercare 😭😭😭

Welp, this is adorable af 🥰

Still 3hrs left on this audiobook and I'm so nervous. What a fantastic novel.

Only 26% and yet so much has happened. Incredible book and the narrator for the audiobook deserves a medal for this work (assuming they didn't get one already)

I think I might need to buy this one because WOW.

Listening to the audiobook, narrated by Gadsby themselves, and WOOOOOW this is brilliant and I don't know how I'm going stop listening.

I don't even want it to end 😭😭😭

I don't ever want it to end 😭😭😭

I don't want it to be over 😭😭😭

Onto Part 2 and weeping. Wow what a story. Once I got into the prose I haven't been able to stop.

My silence will not protect me; my silence will not save me from fear and pain. Silence is the element of anti-racism that is most challenging for me to break through. My ancestors remained silent and complacent and I need to continuously push against this. No matter how far I come I often slip back into the silence as it feels easy -- but it eats away at me and harms others. I needed to hear this first essay today.

Read the intro on imposter syndrome and immediately knew I had to buy it.

This book is so. fucking. good. and so parts are like looking directly into a mirror.

This is the year I'm going to unlearn all the ugly lies I've internalized about my identity.
