filmcritic23 's review for:
Where Am I Now? True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame
by Mara Wilson
So apparently it took me 10 days to read this book. That is a triumph in itself, cause usually it takes me longer to read. But this book is one of the most emotionally impactful books I've read in years. I've known about Mara Wilson since I was young, mainly through Matilda, but throughout my life she has continued to appear, such as in Nostalgia Critic's review of Thomas the train engine. It was cool seeing her grown up, and still seeing that was she writing and overall generally happy than I heard acting made her. It was really a breath of fresh air reading someone with a similar thought pattern to yours. She has a lot of anxiety, thoughts about death and overall stupid worries that make sense to only her but not anyone else. Its nice how she ends the book on a note of just letting the readers know its okay to mess up, and that we will do it a lot. She is around my age, so its comforting to here the musings of someone in a similar age and thought process group. She has a dark sense of humor, but overall she's very funny and not afraid to show her heartbreak. She has set out to become what she always wanted: to be fearless, and a badass. I recommend it.
