"This tender memoir follows Potts’ life-swap from criminal barrister to patisserie chef in the wake of her mother’s death. It’s filled with the comfort we all seek when dealing with grief."

"Unfuck yourself and get Bonnie McFarlane’s excellent memoir, You’re Better Than Me. Every second that you are not reading this amazing, hilarious, painfully funny, extraordinary book should feel like the ninth circle of hell."

"This truly remarkable memoir chronicles the experiences of lawyer and professor Elyn Saks, who lives with schizophrenia. She writes about her times in hospitals and on the analytic couch with incredible clarity, honesty, and curiosity."
