There was no warning of talks of eating disorders. And I couldn’t keep reading it. It just sucks because I really wanted to like this book.

I loved this book as a palette cleanser. This is not my usual genre but I loved living in Franny’s little world. Fantastically narrated by Lauren Graham.

Listened on audio & loved Graham’s narration. This story was really cute & had me rooting for the MC the entire time, even when you knew she was making the wrong choices. I loved the descriptions of living in NYC in the 90s, & I now have to get my own filofax!
The only real con I have is that I wasn’t satisfied with the conclusion.

samarakroeger's review against another edition
there was too much condoning of disordered eating patterns going on for my liking. also, this was a very stereotypical “struggling actress in NYC” narrative that I personally just don’t really care about (even as side characters, but in this book it is every character). I fully understand why a successful actress would write this sort of a book as a first novel (tbh felt closer to auto fiction), and the writing feels very Lauren, but it was lacking something for me. and there were enough acting clichés to last me a lifetime.
