Have you ever read a book that you needed to read at that exact point in your life, and you knew it? It's hard for me to describe, but I'm still going to try. 
 I don't know how to explain how special this book is, and how much I enjoyed reading it. I was introduced to Felicia Day in Supernatural, and slowly started to learn just how incredible she is. I have a ton of respect for Felicia and the work she does, but most importantly I respect that she is totally, completely, unabashedly herself. As someone who has struggled with feeling shame or embarrassment for being "kind of a nerd (gasp!) - I find Felicia's transparency refreshing and inspiring. 
 Separately, I have been struggling with some really exciting and severe (?) anxiety this year - and have been afraid to talk about where I am with the way I feel and the way my mind speaks to itself. In fact, the past month has been quite the roller coaster and I have been feeling very overwhelmed. Reading that Felicia Day - who I respect and admire SO MUCH - struggled/struggles with anxiety and depression really helped my immediate state of mind. I needed to read this book, right now. 
 What make it all EVEN BETTER is that I bought this book as an early birthday present to myself. I knew I needed to read it before September 26th (my birthday) as I will be MEETING Felicia that very day. 
 I am still processing the things I read, and pinpointing exactly the way I feel, but I wanted to thank Felicia Day for being brave enough to write this book, and thank her for being such a wonderful person.
