When Georgia Pritchett found herself lost for words—a bit of a predicament for a comedy writer—she turned to a therapist, who suggested she try writing down some of the things that worried her. But instead of a grocery list of concerns, Georgia wrote this book.

What The Reviewers Say

Diana Platt,
Booklist
[Pritchett] looks back at her life in a series of comedy vignettes, detailing everything from her childhood as a worrywort to her experiences raising two neurodivergent boys, in quick, pithy, self-deprecating prose.
Kelly Blewett,
BookPage
Episodic, quirky, absurd.

Publishers Weekly
A collection of zippy and poignant anecdotes that describe living at the crossroads of imagination and anxiety.

Kirkus
A droll memoir.
