“But life doesn’t often spell things out for you or give you what you want exactly when you want it, otherwise it wouldn’t be called life, it would be called vending machine.”

This is literally Lauren Graham word vomiting (I don't mean that in a bad way). I would listen to Lauren Graham read off her grocery list because she's that funny.
I find Lauren to be a sharp-witted and charismatic person so I could listen to her talk all day, but I kind of hoped for something more in-depth. A lot of the stuff she talks about in relation to being on TV you can probably find with a simple Google search. She does go more in-depth with her childhood though.
It ends somewhat bitter-sweet. Probably because the ending of Year in the Life is bittersweet. She ends the book thanking her BLUE COAT. It's somewhat repetitive in some places, but again... word vomit.

I got oddly emotional at the end of this book! Lauren Graham seems like such a genuine and positive person that when she wrote about being emotional I had to be emotional with her Haha. Also...was this a hint towards more Gilmore girl at the end? DON'T TEASE ME LAUREN. Overall this was a lovely and fast little memoir, exactly how I wanted it to be. If you are a fan of Lauren of Gilmore Girls you absolutely need to give this one a go.

Omigod! I loved Lorelei Gilmore and now I love Lauren Graham! The Gilmore Girls was amazing and created for LG! Love this book so much. Maybe it's because LG and I share many philosophies in life. This is a must read if you loved GG and/or LG. Wait until you get to the Old Lady Jackson part - so lovely and sweet and kind of old fashioned! I love OLJ! I listened to the audiobook and I wouldn't have done it any other way! This book has to be experienced!

The amount of pages dedicated to different phases of her life and career is very uneven. A good chunk of the narrative feels like stalling and filler. The later quarter of the book is about the Netflix reboot but it reads more like a short diary excerpt lacking much in humor and reflection. Maybe focusing entirely on "A Year in the Life" would've made for a more consistent narrative.
