takarakei's review against another edition

reflective fast-paced

Lauren talks about stardom and being an actress/working in Hollywood. A tad about Gilmore Girls (but mainly not). If you read her first book and enjoyed it this is a very quick read and follow up to that. 
Narrated by the author, which we love.

bashsbooks's review against another edition

funny lighthearted fast-paced

3.75

Lauren Graham is funny and entertaining, but I wouldn't call her writing revolutionary or unique - she has a very typical Quirky Person approach and not-so-deep takes on some basic women's... I wouldn't even say issues as much as typically feminine topics. I liked Graham as an actress before I picked up the book, which helped with my interest in it, but I don't know if it would be enjoyable if one did not already know of her..

Graphic: Injury/Injury detail

Moderate: Death, Misogyny, and Sexism

Minor: Death of parent, Body shaming, Eating disorder, Fatphobia, Animal death, and Cancer

The body shaming, eating disorder, and fatphobia tags are not the most accurate to what I'm trying to warn against, but they're the closest - she references the body standards for women in Hollywood several times, talks about fad diets and juice cleanses, and there is an essay about "health retreats" that limit food in-take and encourage a lot of exercising. Most discussion is jokey and light.
