This Will Only Hurt a Little: The New York Times Bestseller by Busy Philipps

4.0

This Will Only Hurt a Little- This buzzy memoir by Busy Philipps is just what I like in a celebrity memoir. Written in her authentic voice, this is an honest and quirky story about her experiences in Hollywood and before. Busy doesn’t fuck around and tells you what she thinks. I hate when celebrity’s just drop blind items throughout and leave you guessing who really was the asshole. She rarely does that and she doesn’t come out looking perfect either! So many interesting stories that will be new even after her press junket and Instagram. We are roughly the same age so all the 80’s and 90’s references were spot on! If you follow Busy, you know how raw and emotional she is and that’s clear throughout this book. Love her fearless nature and thought this was a very well done memoir. Fast read (I read this in a day) and you will end up routing for her success if you didn’t already.
