I have been a fan of Busy Phillips since Freaks and Geeks ( a travesty that it is a single season) and this hasn’t changed my mind - maybe even more so.
The memoir is honest. It’s funny at times, tragic at others. But mostly honest.
Busy named names when it was necessary ( a little tidbit about Quentin Tarantino that has changed my opinion of him - I won’t be giving his work my money or energy from now on) but when the anecdote didn’t require a name she respected the privacy of the person.
All in all pretty fun easy read. Busy Phillips is a hell of a gal.

I've been thinking about reading this since before it came out. I've checked it out THREE separate times at the library and then turned it back in without reading it. Oh my god, was it worth the wait! Busy is a force to be reckoned with!

This is a fun-to-read, page-turner of a memoir. Candid, funny, upbeat, illuminating. Philipps writes about some disturbing events in her life in a way I really like. She hasn’t figured it all out but she’ll tell us what she knows so far. Love the insider view of a woman in Hollywood.
I really like Busy and I think her stories are definitely worth telling. This book is a lot, though. It was an intense read and it made me feel sad for Busy, for all the stuff she endured, and all the crap she got
from Hollywood and networks and studios. She deserves more happiness and success than she has received so far. If she decides to write another book I hope it’ll be more in-depth on some of the later work in her career (Cougar Town for instance. It is mentioned but I wanted to know more about the creative process and the storylines etc.) and less open ended stories/rushed chapters (some chapters at the end of the book seemed so open ended and rushed to finish?).
