About this listen
The New York Times bestseller
A memoir by the beloved comedic actress known for her roles on Freaks and Geeks, Dawson's Creek, and Cougartown who has become 'the breakout star on Instagram stories...imagine I Love Lucy mixed with a modern lifestyle guru' (New Yorker).
Busy Philipps's autobiographical book offers the same unfiltered and candid storytelling that her Instagram followers have come to know and love, from growing up in Scottsdale, Arizona and her painful and painfully funny teen years, to her life as a working actress, mother, and famous best friend.
Busy is the rare entertainer whose impressive arsenal of talents as an actress is equally matched by her storytelling ability, sense of humor, and sharp observations about life, love, and motherhood. Her conversational writing reminds us what we love about her on screens large and small. From film to television to Instagram, Busy delightfully showcases her wry humor and her willingness to bare it all.
'I've been waiting my whole life to write this book. I'm just so grateful someone asked. Otherwise, what was the point of any of it??'

"Busy is a legit writer with a voice as clear as a bell." (Tina Fey)
"Funny, refreshingly candid memoir about Hollywood, motherhood and BFFhood." (Cosmopolitan)
"Judy Blume meets Karl Ove Knausgaard meets one brave woman from Arizona." (Miranda July)

Incredible
The book was amazing. It was warm, honest and raw in parts. It felt as though a friend was sitting with me telling me their story. Busy is thoughtful and reflective in her story but also in recounting it. I'm glad to have listened.

Great
As a child of the 80s, I have grown up with seeing Busy in many shows. Starting from Freaks and Geeks - yes, Busy, I actually did watch it as it aired and even taped it on my vcr - and Dawson’s Creek, it was awesome to hear the story behind the actress we have seen on screen. I liked that it referenced a lot of pop culture (music, tv, events) that happened over the years, many relevant to my generation that I can remember as well, but through Busys eyes. Very cool to get a behind the scenes perspective of Hollywood also! Busy did a great job narrating and this has been one of my favourite audiobooks I have listened to.

Finally took the plunge!
I have had this book in my wishlist for a while ... like a year or more. I was hesitant as I didn't know too much about her, I finally bought it and no regrets!
An interesting insight to an actress I haven't known too much about. And the way she delivers it is 10/10! Well worth a listen.
