This Will Only Hurt a Little by Busy Philipps
5.0
YOU GUYS! I love a good memoir, and I love @busyphilipps, so is it any surprise that I also loved “This Will Only Hurt a Little”?? Like a lot???
If you’re not familiar, Busy Philipps is an actress/talk show host/mom/Instagram stories star/(in my head) my best friend (it’s very normal and not at all weird, thank you very much). Busy’s Instagram is endlessly entertaining, so it should come as no surprise that her book is too. She manages to be both hilariously lighthearted and insightful at the same time, all while chronicling her journeys trying to make it in Hollywood.
Real talk: There are some seriously vulnerable moments in this book. Busy opens up about problems she experienced growing up, struggles in her marriage and with being a mom, and dealing with douchey actors/producers (looking at you, James Franco). She manages to weave the stories together in a way that feels authentic. Busy’s personality is 100% present in this book. Like she writes in the book, she may be too much for some people, but that’s too bad because they’ll miss being seriously entertained by this book. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
