Picked this up at the library and was pleasantly surprised. I love her sense of humor. Also, she is super relatable.

Thanks for the tag @Mishu94 😊

1. I ALWAYS vote. I‘m solution driven, so if there‘s something I want to complain about and I don‘t think is right, I better be ready to do something about it. I don‘t take for granted that not everybody has the opportunity, especially women.

2. I‘m grateful that despite going through treatments, my mom is still in really good spirits and feeling good right now.

Kelly Oxford is funny in a self-deprecating way. Sure, she's privileged, but she knows she is, and this book doesn't pretend that it's not written from this context. Oxford's second memoir is an equal parts entertaining and uncomfortable, familiar and unfamiliar story about the things that make us feel alone and helpless in the world. It's a great story about what it's like to be an anxious person.

I just needed some fluff reading. And she's hilarious--I follow her everywhere on social media. As you should. The last chapter though...that's the reason this is a "pick." ? ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kelly Oxford is the best (follow her on Snapchat if you don't already) and was insanely nice when I met her last month. Oprah was coming to my work the next day and Oxford dedicated this book to her (and also McDonald's) so I brought it up, hence the O mention!
