I bought the paperback copy of this book after it was released but it has been sitting on my to-be-read pile ever since. So, one day when I found the audiobook available at my library I decided to give it a go and after listening to this entire book I am so mad at myself for not reading it sooner. Phillips does an excellent job recounting her life, even the darkest parts, with perspective, honesty, and humour. The way that she wrote the essays included in this book (and the way she read them) made this a book that reminded me why I love reading generally and memoirs specifically. The discussions of her relationships, her family, and the Hollywood gossip (it's her life so it's not gossip...maybe snippets?) made this book impossible to put down.
