The Third Gilmore Girl by Kelly Bishop

funny inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

I don't typically rate memoirs, but the audiobook narrated by Kelly herself is worth all of the stars (especially the intro read by Amy Sherman-Palladino). I truly didn't know much about Kelly's history prior to Gilmore Girls, but she is such an incredible woman. Listening to her chapters about being a part of Gilmore Girls felt like coming home. I also teared up listening to her chapters about her husband's passing. I highly recommend this one!!!
