I get now, why I'm so endlessly tired and the confusion that comes with decades of masking.
Thank you, Fern, for your wit and your willingness to share also the parts that are scary to the neurotypicals 🙏
Thank you, Fern!

Far and away my favourite non-fiction of 2023, this book is at turns entertaining and gut-wrenching. Expect some laughs and a few tears along the way. I have had a few Ferns in my life over the years, and I really appreciated the way she opened up on the page so honestly. It helped me to reflect on those past friendships in a new way. I just wish she could have felt as honest with those around her as she has with her readers. The self-destructive masking and the pain it caused (both physical and mental) is all so unnecessary. And all so unavoidable too.
Read by the author in an accent that is half Glasgow, half Edinburgh (thankfully, if it was all Glasgow I might have had to give it a pass) some listeners may have trouble with it, especially since she had a cold while recording it. I'm not being snarky, she actually mentions that. I didn't have any trouble with it, but some might.
