I bloody loved this book. And also, I want to be friends with this woman - I think we’d both get a lot out of that turn of events.

I really loved this book. I listened to it (she narrates) and finished it in a day. It just felt like spending the day with a good friend. I didn’t know that much about busy before starting the book and I’m glad I do now. Also love every single story with her mom.

If you're not following Busy Philipps on Instagram you are missing out on a really fun follow. If you're a viewer of her Instagram stories you'll find a familiar tone here. There are lots of behind the scenes type Hollywood stories if you're into that sort of thing and she takes no prisoners when it comes to bad behavior particularly from men in her industry, speaking frankly of her experiences over the course of her career. This isn't some gossipy, celebrity tell-all though. She dishes about names you'll know but it feels less about gossip and more about them being held accountable. Busy Phillips gives zero f!#ks. She will call you out and it rules. She's equally honest and frank about herself, though, and it isn't always pretty but it's relatable. Fans won't be disappointed in this book but there's lots there for those unfamiliar with Busy Philipps too. Out in October! Thanks to Netgalley for the arc.
I enjoyed learning more about Busy Philipps. I first saw her on Freaks and Geeks, an underrated show that only lasted for one season :( I loved her character in White Chicks. Though the names of her children are "odd" to me, I found her to be so relatable and funny.
So honest! Doesn’t try to make herself or anyone look any different than they are. She’s also hilarious and covers so many important topics with so much emotion: abortion, rape, death. Busy is fantastic. May not be perfectly written but it’s important. (highly recommend the audio book)
I really gotta stop reading Hollywood memoirs where all people do is name drop people no one has any clue about.
