lola425 's review for:

Too Much Is Not Enough by Andrew Rannells
4.0

Read this in prepub. Due out in March 2019. What started as an entertaining Modern Love column in the NYT has been expanded into a series of essays detailing Rannells' early years in New York. Rannells' charm is on ample display here. He has an important point to make that applies specifically to the entertainment industry but can really be applied to any profession: for every success you see, there have been accompanying disappointments and challenges. If you are a theater kid in need of a sage older brother, a gay kid who needs to know that somebody out there gets it, or a Broadway fan who wants to have the curtain pulled back on what a performer's life looks like, then you will love this memoir. I could have read another 10 chapters. Rannells' tone is perfect--chatty but honest when it comes to the "real stuff". Guaranteed that the audiobook and the press leading up to publication are going to kill.
