Where Am I Now?: True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame by Mara Wilson
5 reviews
stellahadz's review against another edition
4.0
This isn't the story of Mara Wilson's life told chronologically as memoirs tend to be. It's more a collection of essays, organized thematically, telling stories from different periods in her life. She's a great writer, and she comes across as an intelligent, introspective person who knows herself well, which is refreshing in a world that wants desperately to label and define women instead of letting them define themselves.

I found this really meaningful, moving, and it helped me understand the OCD of a loved one better than I had before. I appreciated her reflections on family, mental health, and struggling with embracing one's sexuality vs a "good girl" complex. I want to read it again, and I've already recommended it multiple times!
