Where Am I Now? True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame by Mara Wilson

2.0

I feel bad only giving this memoir 2 stars but it is what it is. It's not a horrible memoir, Mara seems like a really nice person. It's just sort of...dull. She was so young when she made the movies that she is famous for, that she can't recall them in much depth. My main interest was reading about a child star transitioning to normal adult, true, but I thought there would be more child star parts in the book. This is mainly the memoir of a depressed & anxious teenager whose mom died. Maybe if I'd gone into the memoir expecting that, my enjoyment of it would have been greater? As it stands, it was just ok.
