I haven’t always loved Busy Philipps. Or rather, her characters. I’m looking at whoever she played on Dawson’s Creek. But I was also like early teens when I was watching that show, so really, I had no stake in the game.
BUT. I did love her in Freaks and Geeks. And Cougar Town was hilarious.
Then Instagram came along and eventually her fame on there for being incredibly hilarious.
Which inevitably gave her a book deal, which makes sense. Or does it? What world are we living in anymore?
Anyway, I’m happy that she got a book deal.
I read this when I was still running my book club and this was one of the picks from my sisters.
It was well written and funny in the bits that needed to be funny, sad in the parts that were incredibly upsetting, and overall, a beautiful book.
She covered a lot of stuff and I’m grateful she was brave enough to share her story in the way that she did. Busy talks about her first time having sex, her relationship with her husband, and her friendships. It’s an honest book and I really loved her being so candid with us.
Which is how she just lives her life, so that was impressive to see she wasn’t sugar-coating anything for the benefit of others.
She was incredibly real in this.
I loved it. And her.
Constant vigilance!
