A collection of humorous autobiographical essays by the beloved comedic actress known for her roles on Freaks and Geeks, Dawson’s Creek, and Cougartown who has become “[T]he breakout star on Instagram stories.... [I]magine I Love Lucy mixed with a modern lifestyle guru” (The New Yorker).

Busy Philipps’ autobiographical audiobook offers the same unfiltered and candid storytelling that her Instagram followers have come to know and love, from growing up in Scottsdale, Arizona, and her painful and painfully funny teen years to her life as a working actress, mother, and famous best friend.

Busy is the rare entertainer whose impressive arsenal of talents as an actress is equally matched by her storytelling ability, sense of humor, and sharp observations about life, love, and motherhood. Her conversational writing reminds us what we love about her on screens large and small. From film to television to Instagram, Busy delightfully showcases her wry humor and her willingness to bare it all.

“I’ve been waiting my whole life to write this book. I’m just so grateful someone asked. Otherwise, what was the point of any of it?”

THIS BOOK IS AMAZING I WATCHED FREAKS AND GEEKS WITH MY MOM AND EXSTEPDAD WHEN I WAS 13, AND IVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH YOU SINCE! Sorry I’m still only 14 😂 so I probably sound like a child writing this ( I mean I am but oh well) and I just wanted to tell you how bad a&$ you are and I freak out 😂 get it freak oh my I’m terrible, whenever I see you on anything, and I really just want you to know that I’m astounded by what you’ve pulled yourself back up from and gotten through and you’re amazing and I know you’re super popular and famous and you probably won’t take it seriously because everyone tells you the same thing and you’ll never see this anyways, and I hate writing things for famous people because I feel like I seem fake because I’m only one of millions of people who like you and that’s why I always try to pretend I’m the only person who likes a person or thing and I know that’s selfish and shallow but it’s because if I’m one of the only ones then I’m special (insecure 😂) and not just some sardine fish along with millions of other identical ones. Alright sorry for anyone who read this far I hope you have an amazing day/night/life

OH MY GOD IM CRYING

I can’t begin to explain how inspirational, heart wrenching, funny, and humbling this book is. I am so glad I listened to it to truly hear the authors “voice” and the way it was intended to come out. It felt like a long chat with a good friend. I cried so many times in public listening and didn’t even care. I highly recommend.

I loved listening to Busy Philipps read her own book! The emotional depth of her story is fully realized as she rages, laughs, and cries through each fascinating chapter. Her talent truly shines as she takes on the voices of the people in her life, especially that of her mother! If you’ve followed Busy’s career at all,(and even if you haven’t) this is a must listen! So glad I opted to listen to her read it! I felt such a connection to her and can’t wait to see what she does next, OBVIOUSLY!

Sassy, Unforgiving, Raw, Personal, Brilliant!
