Summary:
"Despite being a published writer with a family, a gaggle of internet fans, and (most shockingly) a mortgage, Emily Farris could never get her sh*t together. To her, being bad at staying organized was
just
one of her many character flaws--that is, until she was diagnosed with
ADHD
at the age of 35. Like many women and girls with undiagnosed
ADHD
, Emily spent her life internalizing criticisms about her lack of follow-through and carrying around a lot of shame as she tried to fit into a world designed for neurotypical brains. "
I
'll
Just
Be
Five
More
Minutes
" is a collection of honest, humorous, and sometimes heartbreaking personal essays about Emily's experiences as a woman with
ADHD
. Far
more
than simply classic
ADHD
stories about being too energetic at school or being called too scatterbrained, "
I
'll
Just
be
Five
More
Minutes
" is a portrait of modern American life in a neurodivergent
brain
. It's about complicated relationships with family and friends (including celebrity stalker). Feminism and a woman's right to control her own body. Sleeping too little and drinking too much. Starting a side hustle--and then starting another one (and another and another). Finding the love of your life and then fighting to keep him. And, of course, self-acceptance. These are the deeply relatable, possibly secondhand embarrassment-inducing, wide-ranging stories about not quite fitting into the world without understanding why--a feeling we can all relate to whether we're neurodivergent or not. An essay collection both entertaining and enlightening, "
I
'll
Just
Be
Five
More
Minutes
" is for people who have
ADHD
, for the people who know and love them, and for anyone looking for a good laugh as well as a good cry. But it's also
more
than that--it's a book on how to exist as a woman, a mom, and a person in this fast-paced, overwhelming world we (somewhat begrudgingly) call home"--From publisher.
