i'm a big larry david/curb/seinfeld fan so was really looking forward to reading this! i felt like some of the mental health parts were so raw and reflective of certain aspects of my own experiences, especially obsessively thinking about death and fearing basically everything. however, many of these essays i couldn't get into or just felt like they were reminiscent of my junior high school diary...which to be fair, although i didn't particularly enjoy and found some parts absolutely reeking of privilege (albeit self-aware), she did give a pretty big disclaimer in the title of this book!

Cazzie isn't well liked because of her grumpily selfish personality and she's pretty upfront about that throughout this book. I found this book to be mildly entertaining and enjoyed it mostly through its first half. I don't know why but finishing the second half was a slog and it was difficult to finish. Maybe it's because her repeatedly and repeatedly being annoyed over the most mundane and nonessential things was in fact starting to get increasingly annoying to me... or maybe it's because this book of ‘essays' was tougher to read in a long setting and much easier to read in short bursts. This book isn't written well and is often written as an elongated rant but this isn't supposed to be taken too seriously, so take that into consideration if you're going to reading this. Overall I generally liked this book and her perspective on her millions of anxieties is interesting but I wouldn't say this is a must read by any means, especially considering all of the better and more entertaining comedy memoirs out there.
