Reviews"Emily Farris's debut hits all the big topics: life, love, and yes, even lipstick. And yet these eminently readable essays go down smoother than the sweet pink wine cooler that young Emily might have thrown back before embarking on an ill-fated but hilarious adventure. I'll Just Be Five More Minutes is an unputdownable book that offers a frank, funny look at the highs and lows of life with a neurodivergent brain."-- Amy Shearn, award-winning author of Unseen City, The Mermaid of Brooklyn, and other novels, "[Farris's] sarcastic wit, good-natured self-deprecation, and honest introspection make for a fun and insightful read."-- Library Journal, "I picked up I'll Just Be Five More Minutes intending to peek at the first few lines. Four hours later, I was still on the couch, intermittently laughing and nodding my head in recognition. This is an ignore-your-family, cancel-your-plans, stay-up-past-your-bedtime tale that reminds me of Samantha Irby, David Sedaris, and so many other favorite essayists. It's laugh-out-loud funny and strikingly smart, and Farris offers brilliant insight into the ADHD brain."-- Joanna Rakoff, bestselling author of My Salinger Year, "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--Ferris 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

SynopsisDespite 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-until she was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. In this debut collection of laugh-out-loud funny, tear-jerking, and, at times cringey, personal essays, Emily candidly reexamines her life with the newfound knowledge of her ADHD. She takes the reader on an emotional journey as she makes sense of her complicated relationships (including one with a celebrity stalker), her money problems, the years she spent unknowingly self-medicating, and-of course-her hyperfixations (two words: decorative baskets). An entertaining and enlightening read for people who have ADHD, as well as those who know and love them, I'll Just Be Five More Minutes is a powerful collection of deeply relatable, wide-ranging stories about overwhelm and oversharing, drinking too much and sleeping too little, and a woman's right to control her own body. At its heart this is a book about being misunderstood by everyone-including yourself-and still managing to turn out okay., A hilariously-honest, heart-warming 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.

Like many girls who go undiagnosed, Emily grew up internalizing criticisms about her impulsivity and lack of follow-through.
