I'm always on the hunt for memoirs and biographies that deal with different experiences with mental illness- mostly just to educate myself but without reading textbook definitions. This was certainly an interesting look into agoraphobia and was done in a comedic way. I personally enjoy memoirs that balance serious topics (mental illness) with comedy. It seems more real and accessible and true to how I find it possible to survive the truly crappy moments. Sara Benincasa is a lovely writer and can make some very hilarious observations about the crappy side of mental illness. This reads more as a collection of essays on her life and mental illness in general and less as an in depth look at agoraphobia or anxiety. But I enjoyed it and found there to be some really touching and also really hilarious parts to this book.
