Resumen del Editor

A hilariously-honest, heartwarming essay collection about life, love, and discovering you have ADHD at age 35

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. As she saw it, disorganization was one of her countless character flaws—that is until she was diagnosed with ADHD at age 35. Like many girls who go undiagnosed, Emily grew up internalizing criticisms about her impulsivity and lack of follow-through. She held onto that shame as she tried (and often failed) to fit into a world designed for neurotypical brains.

I'll Just Be Five More Minutes is a personal essay collection of laugh-out-loud-funny, tear-jerking, and at times cringey true stories of Emily's experiences as a neurodivergent woman. With the newfound knowledge of her ADHD, Emily candidly reexamines her complicated relationships (including one with a celebrity stalker), her money problems, the years she spent unknowingly self-medicating, and her hyperfixations (two words: decorative baskets).

A memoir-in-essays both entertaining and enlightening, I'll Just Be Five More Minutes is for people with ADHD, as well as those who know and love them. This is a powerful collection of deeply relatable, wide-ranging stories about a woman's right to control her own body, about overwhelm and oversharing, about drinking too much and sleeping too little, and about being misunderstood by the people closest to you. At its heart, I’ll Just Be Five More Minutes is about not quite fitting in and not really understanding why—something we’ve all felt whether we're neurodivergent or not.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“These essays feel like catching up with an old friend that I actually like listening to. If you enjoy my flavor of OCD you will have just as much fun at Emily’s ADHD party."—Samantha Irby, New York Times bestselling author of Quietly Hostile and self-described idiot jokester

“Funny, cringey, and oh, so relatable.”—Jenny Lawson, New York Times Bestselling author of Broken and Furiously Happy

"Not only is this memoir witty, laugh-out-loud funny, enlightening, and brave, it also perfectly fits a reader who has ADHD. Short chapters, pithy sentences, fresh insights, nothing boring. Aimed at the largest undiagnosed group—adult women with ADHD—Farris tells her story in such an engagingly personal way that it appeals to everyone. It instructs by pleasing. Bravo Emily Farris!"—Edward Hallowell, M.D., author most recently of ADHD 2.0

Close to home or at least in the neighborhood

The essays in this collection were really relatable and at times agita inducing but nonetheless it's a highlight of the bond between Gen-X and the Elder Millennial... our parents really did a number on us directly and indirectly, the unkept promise of a college education leading to an enviable lifestyle and our shared experiences with dating and hooking up in a virtual reality. Overall a worthwhile listen that is easy to digest that can be revisited time and time again.

Pure magic

I never wanted this book to end. Hearing Emily’s raw and hilarious stories made me feel seen. Perfect for those with bouncy brains (thanks, adhd).

The bare, witty, honest prose helped me feel seen.

I loved the authors refreshing reflection on a life lived, a life loved, and parts of a life missed through the lens of undiagnosed and diagnosed adhd. Emily pulls no punches with a raw honesty that speaks to every reader.

FANTASTIC 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I love this book! The author ( and narrator) nailed it regarding ADHD !
In fact I was a bit worried as I tore through my house looking for a spy camera, believing for sure she was taping my ADHD episodes….the line I always hear from friends is “you’ll be late to your own funeral!” (and that’s supposed to be a bad thing ? )
I have told everyone about this book and I know in my heart they will appreciate it and the author, as I do now!! ❤️

Hilarious and relatable

I found this book by searching for “ADHD comedy” after finding it hard to focus on any books, audio or not, regarding learning about this “disorder”. The author then clearly described me and apparently all women with ADHD who have flown for so long under the radar. I cackled so many times when Emily would describe an absolutely irrational yet serious thought pattern that I’ve 100% experienced. It’s really not a character flaw, and this book helps to come to terms with that. Thanks for sharing your journey.
