Ugh I love Anna Kendrick and just want to be her best friend. I own both physical and audio copies of this book, but chose the audio because I found out it was read by her. I loved the audio for many reasons, but mostly because I could fan girl and pretend she was actually talking to me. It's super funny and probably something I shouldn't have listened to at work, but it was worth it!

Also, Anna if you're reading this, please be my friend. We can both be awkward introverts!

I listened to it on audiobook which was nice as it is Kendrick reading it. Funny and entertaining book about her experiences growing up, how she got into acting, etc. worth a listen to!

I read this book awhile ago when Anna Kendrick was popping off for her delightful and witty social media commentary. Unfortunately, I think her knack for witty comments has a character limit because this book does not reflect that at all. There’s a lot of name dropping and references to Hollywood party and drug culture and despite the book title, the book did not feel grounded at all.

cute and interesting!

I'd be willing to lift my #nonewfriends ban for Anna Kendrick.

Meh. I typically enjoy celebrity autobiographies but just didn't love this one. I found it not endearing or interesting but instead a little crass. Towards the end I enjoyed it more so I added a star.

I was a wee bit disappointed in this audiobook. I was excited to hear about Pitch Perfect, which was only mentioned in passing in relation to another event. She didn't really talk about a lot of her movies in depth, but mostly her starting career on Broadway (I didn't know this), how fame hasn't changed her and the drugs she's done.

I really enjoyed this book! It's actually funny and and refreshingly relatable from a woman's point of view and I find it the most enjoyable from the pile of other similar books I've read (comedian actress puts essays together) I like her voice and I like her self-irony and the way she is looking at herself in retrospection - it sounds honest and human and it felt like talking to a friend. Actually, this sums up the whole book for me. It's like reading letters from an old friend you haven't talked to in awhile. I recommend it. It's far from Tolstoy but it brings smiles so that's okay in my books.

To come
