This was everything I wanted Felicia Day's memoir to be (and if you read my review of hers, you know why it frustrated me). Anna Kendrick never resorts to the humblebrag or false humility. When she is self-deprecating, it never seems done in a way that's meant to mask insecurity or ego. Instead, she is introspective and self-aware. She knows she's good at her job, and that the fact she started so early is part of what enabled her to get where she is. She also knows which elements of her personality are hindrances to things she wants in life. She's brutally honest about herself, yet she's also fiercely confident. I was particularly struck by the section of her book about not being "nice" anymore, and why that's not a trait to mourn losing. It's a thing I have said to friends before, but she puts it so eloquently I said, "YES" out loud. I've always liked her acting and the persona she puts out on social media, and this book absolutely validated my respect for her.
