Bei Wilf zieht ein neuer Nachbar ein. Er heißt Alan, ist ein Superschurke und tüftelt den ganzen Tag an ziemlich bösen Weltzerstörungsplänen herum. In diesen Plänen spielen Hamster, ein schwebender Panzer, Haie und ein großes Gewehr-Dingsbums eine Rolle. So verrückt Alans Pläne auch scheinen, Wilf wird klar, dass nur er allein die Welt vor diesem Superschurken retten kann. Das einzige Problem ist, dass er dazu zumindest für eine Weile seine vielen Ängste überwinden muss.

Multi-award-winning television writer and producer Georgia Pritchett knows a thing or two about anxiety. From worrying about the monsters under her bed as a child (Were they comfy enough?), to embracing womanhood (One way of knowing you have crossed from girlhood to womanhood is that men stop furtively masturbating at you from bushes and start shouting things at you from cars. It's a beautiful moment.) to being offered free gifts after an award ceremony (It was an excruciating experience. Mortifying.) worry has accompanied her at every turn.

When Georgia Pritchett found herself lost for words—a bit of a predicament for a comedy writer—she turned to a therapist, who suggested she try writing down some of the things that worried her. But instead of a grocery list of concerns, Georgia wrote this book. Delightfully offbeat, painfully honest, full of surprising wonders, and delivering plenty of hilarious, laugh-out-loud moments, My Mess Is a Bit of a Life reveals a talented, vulnerable, and strong woman in all her wisecracking weirdness, and makes us love it—and her—too.

Things Wilf was worried about before: 1) Stuffed animals. 2) Peanut Butter. 3) Creepy crawlies that have waggly feeler things instead of eyes. Things Wilf is worried about now: 4) The most evil man in the world. 5) The most evil man in the world living next door. 6) Anyone called Alan. When Alan, a self-styled evil lunatic, moves in next door with his grumpy robot sidekick and his silent right-hand dog, Kevin Phillips, Wilf knows he will have to find a way to overcome his fears.
