Super-smart, deliciously readable, achingly poignant.

A glimpse into the brain of a woman who works very hard to take care of it.

The structure allows Nancherla to do deeper dives into some topics while sprinkling shorter, lighter tension-breaking comic pieces throughout.

Nancherla presents honest, intimate, strikingly astute and well-researched essays about her mental state and overall psychological health, but be prepared for intermittent jolts of sarcastic, dark humor.

The author astutely analyzes how systems of power have intersected to create her view of herself and her profession.
