Thanks to Random House for the free copy of this book.
- TEN STEPS TO NANETTE is one of the best memoirs I've ever read. Hannah Gadsby is both funny and vulnerable, thoughtful and pulling no punches.
- I admired the way she navigated talking about some of the horrible things she has lived through, taking a stance of "you need to know about this event for storytelling purposes, but that does not entitle you to every last detail."
- I highly recommend the audiobook, read by Gadsby herself. You get the comedic timing and the emotional impact of her live shows, plus audio clips of her performing are added into the audio where relevant.
