**Definitely heed the content warnings on this book** This is one of my favorite celebrity memoirs I’ve ever read. Elvira is a life long inspiration of mine and this collection of her life stories has only emphasized that. She has done just about everything in her career and her most known work didn't take off until she was in her 30's which is uncommon for a woman in Hollywood and a perspective I really loved hearing. It's so conversational which only endeared me to her more, it felt like hearing your super cool aunts crazy life stories. Hearing about her partner at the end was just so sweet too.
