I Want to Be Where the Normal People Are

De: Rachel Bloom

Narrado por: Rachel Bloom

From the charming and wickedly funny cocreator and star of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, a collection of hilarious personal essays, poems, and even amusement park maps on the subjects of insecurity, fame, anxiety, and much more.

Rachel Bloom has felt abnormal and out of place her whole life. In this exploration of what she thinks makes her "different" she's come to realize that a lot of people also feel this way; even people who she otherwise thought were "normal".

In a collection of laugh-out-loud funny essays, all told in the unique voice (sometimes singing voice) that made her a star; Rachel writes about everything from her love of Disney, OCD and depression, weirdness, and Spanx to the story of how she didn't poop in the toilet until she was four years old; Rachel's pieces are hilarious, smart, and infinitely relatable (except for the pooping thing).

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Rachel is one of the funniest bravest people of our generation and this book blew me away." (Amy Schumer)

"Painfully funny (and funnily painful)." (B.J. Novak)

"(Rachel has) a legendarily active imagination with a predisposition for anxiety. Uh, sure you can put this quote on the back of your book I guess?" (Rachel's psychiatrist)

The book is great! Hearing Rachel Bloom read it herself is even better!!

This book is a must-read for any theatre person. Absolutely incredible! Rachel Bloom is somehow able to be incredibly funny while also courageous enough to talk about her many real struggles with mental health. This book would be a complete bummer in less skilled hands. Instead it is a funny, thought provoking read/listen!

As terrific as I hoped it would be

Damn, she’s great. For those of us who’ve been missing CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND, this is such a treat.

Phenomenal All-Around

An emotional rollercoaster! Rachel speaks to my soul. F**k being normal. F**k McElroy. Thank you for helping me understand myself growing up. I laughed, cried and pooped heartily during this all-too-relatable piece of art. The way Rachel is able to connect with her readers- I can't say enough. I feel seen. Thank you.

funny adorable just like the author

I'm a truck driver and finished this book in two days where it normally takes a couple weeks for other books but this laugh out loud never hit pause audio book had me swerving off the road. (not literally as that would be super dangerous and i might kill someone)

Audio > Book

I want to start off by stating I have not read or even seen the actual book. By listening to the audio though, I know that you will be missing out on some great entertainment and show tunes that you possibly cannot get from the hard copy. I enjoyed it so much, I hope to one day also buy the book as well. Rachel Bloom, you are amazing! I now am in need of you to narrate any farther audiobooks I listen to from this day on!!

Loved it!!!

I love Rachel Bloom! She's so funny in this book and it feels so real and relatable. I wish I could know her in person. Fell in love with her since crazy ex girlfriend. I will be listening to this over and over again to get my spirits up for when I need a good laugh!

Dear Rachel Bloom

Please be my best friend? Thanks everso. I really enjoyed listening to this and the fact that Rachel reads it herself makes it that much better!! I adore Crazy Ex Girlfriend and seriously can’t get enough of Rachel’s stories and words and singing. This book was perfection. The end.

Rachel Bloom is My Hero

I loved every minute of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and have followed Rachel Bloom on social media for years but the raw honesty and vulnerability, keen insights into humanity, and quirky hilarity displayed in this book made me a fan and devotee for life. From all the weird, neurodivergent theater kids who are now regular adults with a lot of baggage, thank you, Rachel.

Best book of all time!

Thank you for singing "I Have Friends" with me at the Obie awards! LOVE THIS BOOK

The audio book is the way to go!!!

No surprise, but the audio book version is phenomenal. Here you can hear Rachel tell her own stories and even sing and perform monologues.

I’ve been a big fan of Rachel Bloom ever since her YouTube days, and knew that this was a book I needed to listen to her read (there’s a musical she sings, a Harry Potter Hogwarts drama club fanfic, and an original monologue perfect for any inspiring, edgy actress). Just as hysterical, silly, and irreverent as I thought it would be, and perfect for my gay theatre loving heart. Keep being a weirdo, Rachel, normal is overrated.
