I don't care if nostalgia is speaking, it held up to my memories, helped me not fall into a reading slumb and although it's a kids book it is well written: no plot holes, strong world building, good character development, didn't age badly, good values etc. I'll probably keep on re-reading the series whenever I need a comfort read 😊

Such an interesting peak at the life of a strong and classy lady!

I didn't know her, nor her career much going in, but it didn't deter me from enjoying her memoir! I found it very interesting to learn more about Broadway which I'm also unfamiliar with, and get more insight of how TV series work in the background. But what really touched me the most was her experience as an independent woman in the 60-80's in a big city, trying to build her career and making progressive life choices. She oozes confidence and reflectiveness, which I found inspiring and refreshing.

Unfortunately the end was stretching on a bit for me, it felt more like she was trying to acknowledge as many people as she could and I also found she had a bit less perspective on her more recent years (which is understandable).

✍️ The writings is conversational and easy to breeze through, it sometimes made me feel like I was having a conversation with my spiritual spunky grandma, were she tells you incredible annecdotes with some spark, then causaly drops you life wisdoms 🤭😳 🎧 As usual, the audiobook read by the author is a must, especially with her very peculiar voice!

Not my favorite memoir but one I would still recommend as it is lighter than others, even though it sometimes addresses difficult life events! This is definitely a must read for theater kids and Broadway enjoyers, but don't skip it even if you aren't one!
