jadesara15 's review for:
Where Am I Now? True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame
by Mara Wilson
I find it super weird to review memoirs in any way (besides to comment on their writing— Mara Wilson’s writing is very good!). This just didn’t touch me. Or make me laugh too much. Or stick with me when I wasn’t reading it. There were certain parts that did effect me, for sure. As someone who lost a mother young (not nearly as young as Wilson) I found her sections on that extremely familiar and honest. I also really appreciated her vulnerability about mental illness.
And there was truly nothing wrong with this book. It was clever, thoughtful, funny. It touched on many subjects. Wilson has clearly lived an interesting life and, as I said, she can write! It just wasn’t for me and that’s okay. I would recommend if you’re already a fan of hers (I wasn’t besides loving Matilda)!
