I was late to the This is Us party, but when I binged season one last summer I went through a box of tissue and I was hooked. Chrissy Metz plays the flawed, but loveable Kate Pearson. A woman who has had weight issues her entire life. It was easy to relate to Kate and her issues. It was also easy to fall in love with the actress who plays Kate Pearson.
In her new book, This is Me; Loving the Person You Are Today Chrissy Metz shares bits of wisdom that have helped her get through life so far. From the wisdom she learned while working at a pre-school to advice on how to deal with "trolls" who constantly trash your appearance. Chrissy walks us through her early days with an emotional and verbally abusive stepfather, her cross-country trip from Florida to California. Her marriage and divorce from a man that she still considers a friend. Oh and then there was the time she went to Oprah's for lunch. Oprah. And then she gets to the good stuff, her audition for the hottest show on television and her co-stars on the show. She doesn't give any juicy details, but what she does share reinforces the world's belief that the cast of This is Us are perfect. Like Milo carries a handkerchief to give to whoever onset may be crying - and there are often tears. She mentions the text chain that the whole "family" is a part of and the conversation with Sterling K. Brown leading up to Emmy nominations.
Bottom Line - In This is Me Chrissy Metz proves that she is beautiful both inside and out. She is funny and smart and has an incredible outlook on life. This is Me is not just a book to read yourself, but it is a book that is meant to be shared with the young women in your life.
