Hi, Anxiety

Kat Kinsman Β· 2016
76/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Kat Kinsman writes about her lifelong anxiety with the kind of humor and candor that makes hard material feel approachable rather than clinical, and Library Journal and Booklist both recognized it as something genuinely insightful. The call for women especially to stop suffering in silence and start talking openly is still a necessary message. The episodic memoir structure means it reads in pieces rather than as a sustained argument, which suits the subject but may not suit all readers.
