By Gemma Correll
Funny, moving and brilliantly told, this is a memoir of a life lived with anxiety. Correll shares her low moments and her achievements, her experiences of different forms of anxiety, and what has worked in helping her deal with it.
Fans of her comics and cards will recognise her signature style (I had already got The Worrier’s Guide to Life, and loved it). Anxietyland is a much deeper autobiographical dive into Correll’s experiences, and deserves a very wide readership.
It’s a perfect read for those affected by anxiety in themselves or in others. I could relate to some bits, recognise the experiences of friends and family, and found the whole a kind, hopeful and thoughtful read.
Unique, and welcome.
