This Will Only Hurt a Little by Busy Philipps
4.0

Another roadtrip listen. This I would say was definitely enhanced by listening to audio vs reading in print--Busy's impressions of her mom are worth a full star alone.

I'm not necessarily a huge fan of Busy Philipps but like, I liked Freaks and Geeks and enjoy her social media presence? So I was definitely surprised by a lot of aspects of this. It's also a bit more serious in tone than I'd expected, like regarding discussions of sexual assault etc. But I did appreciate her candor especially in discussing her teenage abortion. I also enjoyed how extremely willing she was to spill the tea and name names of people who were shitty to her.
