An interesting glance into the early life of Rannells, I'm always a sucker for audio books narrated by the author. I think Rannells does an excellent job recounting the struggles of a Midwest boy with big aspirations and no clue how to chase them in the big city. Funny, snarky, and at sometimes touching and conflicting. A solid, relatable read.
slow-paced
I’ve always admired Rannells as an actor. His memoir is sweet, warm, and funny. It’s just an easy, enjoyable read.

Oh, Andrew Rannells, my sweet summer child.
When beginning to read this, I was worried for a very brief moment that this book would just be another typical celebrity memoir listing the most important events in their life, sprayed with some wannabe inspirational quotes inforced by a probably ghostwriter.
I am very happy to say that I was wronged. This book is not only extremely funny due to the fact that Andrew Rannells IS really funny - it also all in all feels extremely genuine and is perfect in all its rawness and honesty, which I wholeheartly appreciate. Reading about nineteen to twenty-something year old Andrew's struggles in pursuing his dreams and trying to find a place in the world felt like listening to the rambles of a very good friend that could gladly go on for hours.
Beautiful life lessons and a heartfelt, vulnerable story that I'm glad was shared <3

Really enjoyed this detailed and personal account of pursuing a career on Broadway, discovering who you are through each life experience, persevering through hardship toward your dream and the importance of friendship in your life. I also loved his humor sprinkled throughout.
Light hearted, but serious. Thoroughly enjoyable reminder about what being an "overnight success" is really about.
