Oh how I loved this one! 

Grandma was a fast favorite and I wanted more of her. I think that would be my only complaint. 

So many sassy moments and clever laugh-out-loud academic inspired digs ("I bet he thinks in Fahrenheit!").

How Did You Get This Number by Sloane Crosley

Lighthearted and full of sass, I found myself laughing a lot along the way.

For example, on traveling, Sloane likens herself to "a cat who urgently need to be on the other side of the room for no apparent reason" and that's laugh-out-loud hilarious, even for a dog person.

I always feel so strange at the mere idea of rating a memoir....but I found this particularly well done and hey, a 5-star rating never hurt.

Psst...Tom Felton narrates the audiobook and it has a bonus chapter not in the first publishing. Enjoy.

There's a reservedness about Tom's story where he shares while keeping certain pieces close and without oversharing or speaking ill of others. Yes, there's some behind-the-scenes bits on Harry Potter - but it's much more than that.
