The beginning had me worried I wasn't going to like the book, as it started off with a tone that felt a little like trying too hard for a laugh. Once she got into a rhythm though, the writing settled down and felt more genuine. I still didn't like the random "Hello, so-and-so" interjections -- I found them overly corny.

The last third of the book was extremely nostalgic for me and I loved it. Gilmore Girls was such an impactful show for me that her reminiscing just brought back all the feels. Lauren feels to be like talking to a friend and I particularly enjoyed having the audio with her as her own narrator once the first page jitters got out of the way.
