Mostly mediocre. A 2.5 rating. For a similar (but better written book), go with Anna Kendrick's memoir. What was interesting was how open Anna Faris is in the book, which lets you feel better about yourself if you have any of the weird behaviors she writes about (and she has plenty). The parts about Chris Pratt's take on life was interesting too. Other than that, mostly fluff (visible from the number of times podcast stuff had to be converted to chapters).

It's good. First, it's not necessary good writing, and it's all over the place. It also has a lot of the same stuff from her podcast. If you don't listen to her podcast and keep up with her life, you might not understand it and like it as much. But I thought it was great and actually read it one day, which is impressive for me considering that it's not a short book!
She also dove into some pretty personal topics about her and Chris's relationship and the premature birth of her son. She really is an open book and it's impressive. She includes a lot of comments from listeners and I truly think she's interested in their opinions and lives. It's refreshing.
I do wish I would've listened to the audio version with her reading it.

I didn't realize this was basically an insightful book about relationships and her love for Chris Pratt. Their relationship was very clearly so, so deep and I was really sad reading this book knowing her relationship had since ended. I really enjoyed her intelligence on her podcast and that honesty, vulnerability, and intellect shines bright through this book. I really related so hard to so much of what she said and how she was thinking, at least who she was before 2017 when she wrote this book. The book almost presented like she was convincing herself to stay. I don't know, I just really related and it hit hard knowing what happened months after that book ended. Like, imagine if Reputation or Lover came out and weeks later Taylor sWift's single. Same situation.
Anyway, it's kind of like those love stories that don't end in a happily ever after. Clearly my favorite genre.

I love Anna Faris. As an actress, she is always hilarious and fearless. But for some reason, this book didn't really resonate with me. Maybe it was because she and Chris Pratt just separated which makes all the chapters about him sad and bittersweet. Or I just don't see the world like she does. There was also a bit of jumping around and times where I was like - why was this tidbit included? It didn't always connect and make sense. I wonder if the book was rushed given the timing of the high-profile separation. She and Chris both seem like great people so I hope they continue to be successful/happy.
This is one those books I recommend listening to . :)
SO much more than just a funny girl writing about her goofy adventures in the entertainment industry. I really felt like Anna Faris was a friend I was catching up with as I read (listened lol) to her book. It was really relatable and often times somber as it chronicled her youth and adulthood.
In a time where things like coronavirus, quarantine and isolation are a real and everyday thing, it means a lot to feel like you're connecting with a friend. It's a pick me up when things all around seems a little dark.
She offers up so much of her life behind the scenes without taking herself all too seriously.
I really do recommend.
