Loved the first part of the book - so funny and memorable. I struggled with the pace of the middle but towards the end it brought me joy again

“something trivial, like a crush on a celebrity, can have unexpected, maybe profound, consequences, not in spite of being trivial but because it is. Because it’s fun, because it doesn’t matter, because it’s purely for you, because it feels stupidly good. Because the joy of it expands. It seeps into other parts of your life, transforming it, and you, in ways that do matter - a lot. That’s why I wasn’t able to balance the books between seeing Benedict Cumberbatch in a top hat and what happened next. It’s not a one-to-one correlation, but more like an exponential curve.

Benedict Cumberbatch can’t change your life, you see. But finding your thing and loving it, whatever it is - well, maybe that can.”
