ashleybuhrke 's review for:
Dear Mr. You
by Mary-Louise Parker
Actual Rating: 3.5/5
Hmmm... this book was not quite what I was expecting. I kind of went in to it thinking it would be a little more comical than it actually was. None the less, it was still a good book. Just took a minute to readjust my mood towards it. Now reading the synopsis on GR might not lead you to think this book may be funny, but on the book itself with words like "gut-wrenching" and "hilarious" you can probably see where I got confused. Also being I like her as an actress, I got the humor thing from that as well.
But this book wasn't a complete fail in the funny department. For example:
Pg. 102 - "I wanted to kick you in the shins and make you banana bread"
andddddd
Pg. 223 - "Oysters are trannies"
That one had me dying! And that's the tune I thought this whole book was going to play.
Other than that slight disappoint, it was a very well written book. Very emotional and private and a great glimpse into an wonderful actress' personal life.
One last thing: I would love to thank her or whoever's decision this was - as beautiful as you are Mary Louise Parker, thank you from the bottom of my heart for not slapping your celebritorious mug across the cover.
