Too Much Is Not Enough by Andrew Rannells
4.0

Put simply, this book was a delight and Andrew Rannells is a treasure.

As I said in one of my updates, I have played, “The Book of Mormon,” soundtrack on a loop more times than I’m comfortable admitting. Even before I saw the show last year, I would listen to the songs again and again. If you’ve never listened to it, at the very least, go on YouTube and find the clip of Rannells performing, “I Believe,” at the Tony Awards. He has a fantastic voice. On or around the same time as my discovery of his singing talent, the show, “Girls,” debuted on HBO. It wasn’t the best show. Often, I grew irritated with the four leads. Still, there were episodes of brilliance and there was Rannells. His character was a supporting one but he stole every scene he was in and I loved him.

So I was excited for this book but nervous. What if it was poorly written? What if it was shallow? I worried for nothing. It was sincere and heartfelt. I felt like I was sitting across from a friend who was telling me about his life.

It’s not a glitzy tell all, filled with name dropping and and no substance. Some parts are quite sad. Other parts made me laugh out loud. If you don’t know anything about Andrew Rannells, I think you would still enjoy this.
