I have a friend that thinks she has ADHD at 43! I didn’t totally think it was possible but now I do. This book taught me so much about the diagnosis later in life vs as a child. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

"I'll Just Be 5 More Minutes" by Emily Farris offers an intimate and deeply personal look into the author's life with ADHD, which resonates profoundly with those who have experienced the challenges and quirks of this condition. As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD at a later age, I found the content to be incredibly relatable, and it provided a unique perspective on the daily struggles and triumphs that come with this condition.

One of the strengths of the book is its ability to dismantle the common misconceptions surrounding ADHD. Farris adeptly sheds light on how ADHD is not just about "being easily distracted" but is a complex and multifaceted condition that affects every aspect of life. Her personal accounts effectively underline this, bringing empathy and understanding to the forefront.

However, the book's content can be a bit overwhelming at times, mirroring the very nature of ADHD itself. Farris's narrative often jumps from one topic to another, and some readers may find it challenging to keep up with the rapid pace. While this might be an intentional choice to illustrate the scattered thoughts and impulsivity that ADHD individuals face, it occasionally feels like the book could have benefited from a more structured approach.
