Felicia Day is an amazing and inspiring woman. I read this book because I'm a fellow female gamer/geek who enjoyed The Guild and cherished her character Charlie on Supernatural. By writing about her life's journey Felicia exposed herself to the world and allowed us to see how she came to be the woman she is now. She shares with us both hilarious stories and terrifying moments. She explains how it was hard to connect to other people as a geek and I agree. It's hard to find people to connect with sometimes, ecspecially when they don't have a clue what you mean when you start chatting about weapons, armor, leveling up, fantasy books etc. My heart reached out to her as I read about her gaming addiction and slow spiral with anxiety and depression. That was my existence for almost five years and it takes a lot of will power and help from others to surface from it. Felicia shows us that we're all human with insecurities and worries. I think she was extremely brave to let us know how far she fell and how she came back and continues to manage her busy life.
