This Will Only Hurt a Little by Busy Philipps

3.0

---

I decided to go audiobook with this one, but regretted it immediately because Busy’s voice (FOR OVER 7 HOURS) can be very grating. In fact, I almost gave up in the first chapter, but I’m glad I stuck with it. She does have interesting stories from her life and it was interesting hearing her talk about the industry and some of the projects that she has been part of. She did not hold back on negative feelings about anyone that she’s worked with and/or dated, including her own husband. I had mixed feelings about how she told stories; I liked that she used different voices for people, which made it sound like she was talking to a friend, but her overly emotional reading often sounded disingenuous. The book felt somewhat self serving, but it did keep me
listening over the course of a few days. I’d give it a 3/3.5 stars.
