Limmy: Surprisingly down to Earth, and Very Funny (2019, HarperCollins Publishers Limited) 4 stars

An honest and frank depiction of a hell of a life so far

5 stars

Wow. I loved this book. Such an honest and frank depiction of a hell of a life so far.

I'm broadly familair with Limmy's work, mostly through YouTube, through the word of mouth of a few Scottish friends - bu I wasn't an expert on him as I went into this.

I chose this book as I am focusing more and more on mental health as I get older, and a good friend who knows me well recommended this book, as he suggested that Limmy has a lot of the same traits - and struggles with them - that I have.

The friend was absolutely correct and actually, reading this book through, it was startling how much my life has in common with Limmy's - not only our mental health struggles but even our upbringing, our career paths, our outlook.

I didn't know I was going to see so much of myself in him - or him in myself before I read this but I was glad I did. I am not alone. None of us are alone.

Thank you Limmy for sharing your story.
