Prairie Tale: A Memoir by Melissa Gilbert

3.0

I read this 1. because I love memoirs and 2. because my family is now binge-watching Little House on the Prairie, a show I'm so familiar with that I've seen every episode multiple times. I enjoyed the insight about the show and about Melissa's celebrity relationships in general, but overall the book is a bit gossipy and fluffy. Still, I felt for her and admit she's come through a lot of Hollywood garbage and seems to be happy now, even though...spoiler...she's no longer with "love of her life" who seems to be the bastion of light at the end of the book. It baffles me the way people in the industry bounce from one relationship to another. Still, an engaging and easy read that went by quickly.
