Surprisingly enough, I have never watched a single episode of The Gilmore Girls. *gasps* I have however watched Lauren Graham on Parenthood and throughly enjoyed the show and fell in love with her character. So, why wouldn’t I read a collection of personal essays not only written, but told by her via audiobook?
If anything, it’s made me want to watch Gilmore Girls and check out the hype - though I may end up regretting bingeing another show!
Aside from just being a really great story to listen to, Lauren touches on some things that are so true to not only herself as an actress in the public eye, but for each and everyone of us ‘normal’ people, too. (And she has an entire chapter where she talks about Betty White..I mean, do you even know me? FRICKIN’ BETTY WHITE!)
One of my favorite things that she talked about was diet culture and how terrible it is for people and that how we as a society are so desperate to do anything for a quick fix. She also mentions that her 90-something year old Grandmother has not once ever purchased something that was “Organic” or “GMO-free” and she is doing just fine. (Note this isn’t up for discussion, I’m just saying that..it sort of makes sense!)
All and all if you’re a fan of Lauren, I recommend 100%! And if you’re not a fan or don’t know who she is - I still recommend!
