Not at all my usual type of book. Quickly read over an evening I really enjoyed it. Was in danger of being a bit twee but some of the darker elements really pull it away from that.

I loved this book. Just the right amount of nerdery for me. Had me hooked right through to the end.

I got a lot out of this book. Fern Brady is a comic I've really enjoyed watching for years and it was a really interesting insight into who she is and I suppose why. There were elements from the childhood sections in particular that really resonated as what you could term “the Scottish childhood experience” which both simultaneously made me cringe and laugh. I'd really recommend reading this book even if you don't know Ferns comedy work (which you should go out and see!) as the insight into late stage diagnosis autism and how male-centric that can be is illuminating.
