Where Am I Now?: True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame by Mara Wilson
medium-paced
Memoir - no rating
I grew up watching Matilda more times than I could count. Besides that, I didn’t know much about Mara Wilson, except eventually following her on Twitter and being like “wow she’s funny.” This book, which read like multiple essays, gave me more insight to Mara as a person as I learned more about her. From stories of childhood fame to receiving an OCD diagnosis, she is honest and brave in sharing her stories.
