I loved reading this book. Like, first of all, it's a delight, just a fun and friendly read. And even though I'm not new to publishing, I found Kate's perspectives interesting, informative, and helpful. But for a novice author, someone entirely new to the field? THIS IS ABSOLUTE GOLD. Kate covers everything you need to know about how to write, sell, and publish a book, and, most importantly, how to survive it without losing your mind, and maybe even coming out the other end a better, more centered writer. A super useful and valuable book.

A beautiful, funny, personal, relatable glimpse into the first year of motherhood. And such a joy to read.

Stunning, funny, honest, sad, hopeful—a beautiful **slim volume** of essays packed full on every page. I really really loved it.

What. A. Stunner. This book is brilliant and beautiful, an elegant interweaving of memoir and a sprawling research quest to understand suicide better. It's full of compassion and tenacity, so honest but gentle, a surprisingly lovely read for the subject matter. One of the best memoirs I've read in a very long time.

Read this delight of a book in one day. Smart, sexy, so real and such a fantasy—I adored it.

I mean just goddamn. What a marvel of a book.

A beautiful, funny, intensely honest book about parenting and just trying to be a person in the world. I loved it so much.

Absolutely gorgeous. Deeply researched and deeply felt and deeply thought.

A beautiful, engaging blend of memoir and research. I loved this book so much.

Suck a beautiful, tender, funny, thoughtful, wonderful book

Fucking brilliant and amazing.

This book is a must for all parents and everyone who interacts with children, and for anyone who wants to work toward a more accepting relationship with their body and others'. Plus it's a lovely read, I tore through it.

Such a fantastic book. I loved the way Radke interweaves research, analysis, and her own reflections. Fascinating and a delight. (Great on audio, too.)

Astonishingly good, great storytelling, awesome science, so much human heart. New addition to my favorite nonfiction books.

Holds the fuck up

Beautifully written and totally mind blowing, I loved it.

This was such a lovely and wide-ranging collection—I loved how expansive each essay was, spinning a theme from an object and then reaching out to include other related objects in that web. The whole book was thoughtful and for some reason calming, like taking a deep breath and looking at something very closely, for as long as I needed to really see it.

An absolute stunner of a book, lovely and fascinating. Really beautiful on audio, too.

This book is brilliant. It's about love and reality TV, yes, but also writing, truth, bodies, confession, selfishness, generosity—everything. It's fascinating and funny and sad and beautiful. I couldn't put it down. I loved it so much.

This book is so wonderful. A clear-eyed and honest look at becoming a mother, beautifully written and a real pleasure to read.

This book is so beautiful. Beautiful memoir, thoughtful investigation of the writing and lives of drinking and sober writers, and something more at the intersection of the two.

Holy shit this book is so good. 1200 pages and not a slow moment. This whole series has been great but this book is amazing.

This book is everything—brilliantly researched, thoughtfully personal, and an urgent, crucial argument. It's also beautifully written. I don't want to say it's a must-read, but I'm so glad I read it.

This! Book! Is! So! Good! What a perfect joy. It's got all the makings of a great rom-com—and none of the convoluted obstacles most rom-coms throw in their couple's way!—and so much more. There's the real friendship between Rose and Harper, and the way Rose's career ambitions are respected and given importance alongside her quest for romance. But it is also, with all of that, still a perfect rom-com. I cried when I finished it, and at the same time I felt—still kinda feel?—giddy with joy. I coudn't put it down and I'm so sad that it's over. I'm just heart-eyes-emoji all over the place for this book.

This book is lovely and funny and sad and perfect.
