Behind on reviews because Dad‘s been hospitalized with pneumonia. 😢

I cheered on Amy‘s historic run on Jeopardy as the second longest champion. I was excited to read more about her life and coming out trans. Well, I like her a lot less after reading this. Like Ken Jennings, she‘s a bit smug. Her coming out story was interesting, but I could‘ve cared less about her tarot obsession or thoughts on drug use. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Not for me!

Bookwormjillk Sorry to hear about your Dad! Seems like a rough year for you all. 11mo
JamieArc Interesting. I didn‘t like her in the beginning because of her smugness, but she grew on me. I‘ll skip this one so I can keep liking her 😂. And light to you and your dad ❤️❤️ 11mo

Easily the most revealing memoir I've ever read. I appreciate Amy's willingness to share so much about her life and experiences as a way to grow people's knowledge and mindsets, even if I could never bring myself to reciprocate! It was also funny and conversational, which is my fave memoir style. #memoir
