This was my first Miranda Hart book and I was a little disappointed with it. Not that I think her writing is bad - far from it; she has all of the quirk and fun of her pattern of speech...it's just not what I was expecting from the content. Basically, it's her journey through overcoming personal issues and while I'm usually on board for that, it can feel a little preachy at moments. I don't think that's intended; rather, I think she's just particularly passionate about the methods used to overcome the pain she has experienced throughout her life. I think part of the reason I struggled with this book was that I had different expectations going into it - no fault of Hart's at all. I enjoyed hearing her voice in my head and I liked much of what she had to say once I got past the idea that this wasn't meant entirely for humor. It makes me want to go back and read some of her earlier works. I really enjoy her work as an actress and creator and I remain a fan - especially considering what she has endured to be where she is.
