You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)
Felicia Day
2015 · 272 pages · Memoir
How it reads
You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is memoir (digital-age celebrity memoir, specifically), and its dominant mood is funny. The humour is the point, not garnish. The pace is moderate — neither a page-turner nor a slow burn — so it holds up whether you read it in long sittings or short ones.
It's set in a big city setting, in the recent past, told in the first person by a single narrator. Its central concerns are identity, friendship and art and creativity. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.
It stands alone, so there's nothing else you need to read first or after. The ending resolves happily. At 272 pages it's a quick read. It's well known, the kind of book most keen readers have heard of.
Pick it up if…
- you're in the mood for something funny
- you want an escape
- you want a complete story in one book
Maybe not if…
- you need something melancholy, dark or tense
