I found this in a listing of humorous memoirs, and while there are plenty of chuckles to be had, this is a little heavier than the celebrity fluff I usually listen to while driving, addressing racism, trauma, and voluntary childlessness amongst other topics. But Harris frames her essays with pop culture references -- e.g., Disney's The Lion King and The Little Mermaid films, the "Cousin Oliver" trope, and television series like Catastrophe, Sex and the City, and Russian Doll -- so there are relatable touchstones and moments of lightness even during the roughest parts.
Enlightening and amusing.
