“Sometimes I feel scared to let people become a permanent part of my life because then, if or when they decide to leave, I’ll be forced to miss them. And I’ve been forced to miss a lot of people. I’m really tired of missing people. So it’s easier to just…not.”
― Elyse Myers, That’s a Great Question, I’d Love to Tell You

Elyse Myers came to my attention a couple years ago when I was looking for a funny new content creator to follow online. Her videos are quirky and relatable with Elyse sharing content from her own life, as well as comedic sketches. What particularly hooked me in was her advocacy on body image, neurodivergence, imposter syndrome, and so many other topics that I related to immediately. She shares everything from family stories to disastrous dates to what her inner voice is constantly telling her.

When I saw Elyse had written a book called That’s a Great Question, I’d Love to Tell You, I knew I needed to check this out. Bonus is that she narrates her own audiobook! This is less a memoir of her whole life and more a collection of personal stories that are loosely connected. Across these stories, Elyse pushes to remind people to love themselves and others, to let themselves be loved, and to work on helping others feel known and like they belong. If you’re looking for a book of witty stories that will make you laugh and possibly cry, try That’s a Great Question, I’d Love to Tell You.

“I’m sentimental about things that hardly matter, and I hold on to them longer than I’m meant to. Sometimes I wonder if I feel more emotional about inanimate objects than I do people.”
