This Will Only Hurt a Little by Busy Philipps
4.0

I generally don’t plan out my celebrity memoir reads each month, or my audiobooks. I often choose to read them on a whim and based on what’s available. I read This Will Only Hurt a Little by Busy Philipps in February. Even though I had a copy on my TBR shelf I chose to read the audio version on Scribd.

Let me say that the amount I enjoyed this book for not really knowing anything about Busy Philipps was a bit shocking to me! Her stories were authentic and often humourous without even trying to make them that way. I was shocked by the amount of grief and sudden loss she has experienced in her friend circle. I had no idea she struggled with body image and was called ‘fat’ often by casting directors and producers. And her vivid description of going into in labour and giving birth to her first daughter was almost enough for me to rethink what I want in life!
