Content Warnings: homophobia, transphobia

Amy is one of my favourite Jeopardy! players, so I was very interested in reading her memoir. We follow not only Amy's time on Jeopardy! but also her childhood and events leading up to her run on the show. I enjoyed learning more about Amy's interests and getting to know her as a person in addition to being a great contestant. The writing style felt conversational and as though Amy was directly speaking to the reader instead of being a more formal memoir. This made it a quick read that I could easily pick up at any time. However, I found that the large amount of footnotes sometimes took away from my reading experience because I was constantly checking them. In terms of the content, I loved Amy's overall message of being true to who you are and allowing yourself to make mistakes along the way. All in all, it was a great read!
