This was so good! It was mostly oral history style and it worked so well. It reminded me of reading Daisy Jones and the Six, it was so interesting to hear all these different opinions on the same event by the people who were there behind the scenes.

I also thought for the casual fan, this book touched on everything you might be curious about perfectly. All the drama you might have heard about is in here with more detail, and the focus of the book was on the episodes/seasons of Greys that were the most notable. (For example, I'm glad they gave a disproportionately large focus on the early days of the show because learning things like they almost cast Rob Lowe as McDreamy (!!! how weird would that be !!!) are so much more impactful than casting choices that happen later in the show.) Basically, I felt like this book anticipated reader curiosity really well, instead of aiming for goals like giving every season equal coverage.

And I can't believe how quickly I flew through this! It's just good fun.

Kind of a very exhaustive magazine article. But as someone who has watched the show from day one, it was a fun trip down memory lane. Sounds like fame and very long hours went to a lot of heads, unfortunately. Also the amount of caution folks had about discussing anything that wasn’t already public knowledge was…interesting.
