Witty! Charged! Smart!
It doesn't get much better than extremely cringey embarrassing stories about James Franco. Girl has the funniest voice I've ever read, for real. And who styled this cover shoot?? Do you die? I die. Will read again.

I’ve always been a fan of Busy but never knew too much about her. Really loved how honest and open this was. Very no nonsense and just an overall good story being told. Even bigger fan now!

I mostly know actress Busy Philipps from her work on the long-running stage show / podcast the Thrilling Adventure Hour, and I'll admit that I primarily picked up this book hoping -- in vain, as it turns out -- for stories of that production. I'm glad that I did, however, because Philipps has some important, soul-baring insights to share from her life and acting career within these pages. The author is blunt and uncompromising about her experiences with rape, abortion, mental health, childbirth, Hollywood fatphobia, and abusers like James Franco and Harvey Weinstein. Although I wouldn't quite say it's an essential memoir on any of these topics, it rings with an emotional honesty throughout.
