What a beautiful book. I am a young, white, American male - history has proven me a worrisome type of thing. It is good to read and know something from someone who is not me. 5 stars because it is exactly what it purports to be and more. Many quotes have been shared to my IG stories, @lukeskyfoos.

Bekah's (5 year-old) review:

I liked Anne and Diana the most. I think it was a good book; kinda sad, kinda happy. I liked the pictures a lot! WHY ISN'T THERE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE BOOKS?!

A gloriously fun little way to look into a writer's mind and feel feelings.

Beautiful and touching, just like the play itself.

I absolutely loved it. Acaster brings his classic wit and self-deprecating style, but adds in a healthy dose of self-esteem and understanding of mental health throughout performance arts. If you love music, personal journeys, or comedy, go for it. I wish we got more info about the behind-the-scenes of his specials and actual comedic material along with the great stuff that's already in there. I listened on Audible, which he performed himself and he did great.
