I just absolutely adore how Jenny Slate describes the world and all her experiences. Lifeform covers her experiences with being single, getting married, having her kiddo, and the death of her grandma - in one of the most unique memoirs I've had the pleasure to enjoy. I will say I don't know that I fully understood all of her musings, but I was happy to be along for the ride nonetheless. 

One of the repeated devices in the memoir was her missives to her doctor where she describes what is going on with her at all her different stages of life. Among other items she discussed, I could not have related more when she talked about how she was worried about annoying her doctor and not necessarily wanting to deal with certain things that were just not going right.

When Jenny railed against her guest who left small, wet, hot bags everywhere and managed to both relate how frustrating it is to feel like you're responsible for everything, and then how our moms are to blame (for better or for worse) for our behavior and how that made her feel as a mom was just amazing. 

I listened to this as an audiobook, which is mostly narrated by Jenny herself as well as some guest stars, and I would highly recommend. I always love listening to memoirs when they're read by the author and Jenny does such a fantastic job of reading it I can't imagine consuming it any other way. 

I definitely recommend this book - thank you so much to NetGalley and Hachette Audio for the advanced copy.
