Would recommend for the Potter head fans. Having only seen the movies, I was interested to learn the behind the scenes of the wizarding world, and this book does just that. Felt a tad repetitive with the wording or comparison of his fame to the iconic trio of Daniel, Rupert, and Emma. Tom definitely seemed to have Draco energy, despite his many sentences insisting he wasn't. Lastly, felt like he had imposter syndrome about his own career, saying he didn't do anything special to get the part of Draco and didn't think much of acting, but kept getting all these roles. I wanted to shake him and say but look what you did compared to the 1000 other kids who auditioned!! His fam sounded cute and supportive though which was nice.

Thank you, Tom Felton for baring your soul in this book. You made me laugh, cry, and feel less alone (especially since I am going through a tough mental health period atm). Beautifully written and the narration was perfect.

Finished this in one day. Its a mixture of heartfelt, funny and/or interesting collection of anecdotes with a major focus on his time on the set of Harry Potter.

The book finishes up with two very personal chapters on Toms time after HP (or Potter as he calls it), in which he describes his struggles with mental health.

As a big fan of the HP franchise, I find great pleasure in his anecdotes about the shoots. However I feel like his personal anecdotes, unrelated to the movies is super interesting and I wish, that he expanded more on those stories.
