This was a surprisingly great read! Minnie Driver isn't just a talented actress and singer, she's also a born storyteller. This memoir is a series of snapshots of different times in her life, many of them before she became famous. There's no Hollywood gossip here but there are some great stories that made me laugh out loud, that shocked me and that moved me. I was also delighted to google her after I finished it and find out who she lives with now.

A heartfelt and incredibly vulnerable collection of essays from Minnie Driver, detailing her tumultuous childhood sent away to boarding school and the ups and downs of her time in Hollywood. For me, the best chapters were about her experience becoming a mother and coping with her own mother's cancer diagnosis. While she does cover a range of very personal topics, I felt this book was more of a highlight reel rather than an in-depth accounting. I was hoping for a little more depth but overall still a good listen and great on audio read by the author with an interview included at the end.
