This Will Only Hurt a Little by Busy Philipps

emotional informative inspiring lighthearted reflective relaxing medium-paced

4.25

This book provides lots of insight into navigating the entertainment industry β€” complete with the misogyny that bleeds throughout every audition and interaction. She is honest about who was a jerk, who mansplained everything, and who refused to have her back when she had theirs.
Chad Michael Murray is probably the only male actor mentioned in the book who has a somewhat of a redemption arc. 

 Busy Philipps is endearing as she narrates the audiobook. Her teenage years are particularly resonant.  This is a memoir a woman  finding her way and claiming her voice β€” especially when it was  hard or uncomfortable, and it’s always useful to have more empowering examples like this.  Worth the audiobook listen!
