emotional funny informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

4.25

Overall, this book is a delight. So funny, nostalgic, and heartfelt. The only reason it’s a 4.25 and not a 5 is because I was disappointed that Perry did not bring up Ellen Degeneres’s rampant racism and classism that systemically harmed her previous employees when discussing her cultural and societal impact. Additionally, though Glee and its creator Ryan Murphy, is referenced frequently throughout the book, it is never mentioned that Murphy abused his employees - writing in storylines and plot points personal to the actors of Glee meant to humiliate and embarrass them.
