I remember finding The Guild online way back in 2007 or 2008. I wasn't a gamer (my parents didn't want us playing video games and pushed us to read as much as possible) so I didn't quite get all the jokes but I quickly loved the series, mostly because of how genuine and real all of the actors, especially Felicia Day's character, seemed. Fast forward to 2015 and my ex had gotten me hooked on WOW and I, in turn, got him into The Guild. Rewatching reminded me of the early days on the internet for me and got me all nostalgic for avoiding friends and hanging out online, pretending to be doing homework (sorry, parents). Plus I got the game references this time around! 
 I was super excited to read this memoir since I am a fan of Felicia Day and I am a fan of memoirs. This was certainly well written and her life was definitely unique. The homeschool/subsequent social awkwardness stories had me cringing in the best way and I appreciated how honest she was. I like when an author can reflect on a situation and come to the conclusion "man, that was kind of awful, but I learned from it". That to me seems real or at least true to my life experiences. 
 So while I mostly enjoyed this book, I did find the "I'm so quirky!" thing to get kind of tiring. I think it's mostly because quirky has become very popular recently, especially for us gals, and it seems like everyone is trying to prove that "Yes! I am quirky too! Here's how weird I am! If you don't [knit, game, watch foreign movies, make DIY terrariums, etc], you're probably not as weird as me!!! LOL." So I'm kind of tired of the whole quirky gal topic. But that's entirely on me, I've had my fill of learning to accept my quirks and feel a bit overloaded on the subject now. 
 Felicia Day seems like a genuinely nice person and someone who works hard to spread positive vibes to other nerds. I'm glad I found The Guild all those years ago and continue to enjoy the content she creates.
