Cecily Strong wrote and narrated this audiobook, which I listened to on a whim and greatly enjoyed. The writing was good and the performance was strong. Would recommend.

Wow, this memoir about losing a cousin was well done. I listened to the audiobook. The emotion Cecily gave, gave me chills. I recently lost my mother, reading this helped me cope. Grief is a weird feeling and this memoir showed true insight into the healing process. This memoir may not be for everyone because it is emotional, but the emotions were real.

This book felt very human, and gives us permission to properly start to grieve the past 1.5 years. Memorable and unique book.

My whole heart was broken over and over again by Cecily Strong — a woman who's made me laugh an incalculable time on SNL — in her memoir/set of essays. But her story of the unexpected loss of her cousin and the depression it and the pandemic caused her just hit so close to home. The audio version of this was read by Cecily and it made the emotions all that more powerful. It was a tough read I wouldn't recommend to everyone — especially anyone with recent grief, but it was an extremely fantastic listen that made me reconsider what I thought I knew about Cecily.
