I was one of the few people on the planet who first learned about Busy Philipps while watching Cougar Town. (Penny Can!!!) I loved her character, Laurie Keller, and have been following her on social media ever since.
I was delighted to see that she had a book coming out and was thrilled to get my hands on an advanced copy. This Will Only Hurt A Little was exactly what I had hoped for from Busy Phillips. She starts out by telling us about her childhood and difficult teen years. She gets brutally honest here and it only makes me like her that much more.
She then goes on to talk about her years at college and her college boyfriend, the son of Hollywood royalty, Colin Hanks. Even though she was from a normal suburban family in Arizona, she drops names like she was born of Hollywood royalty herself. Of course, she discusses her famous BFF, Michelle Williams. Their friendship has been so public that women all over the world compare their friendships to that of Busy and Michelle. She also shares with the readers the grind that is show business. From her early gigs to the shows we all love, she tells us about it all with an honesty that is fresh and entertaining. She also gets honest about her relationships. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Even with her husband of more than ten years. Her refreshing honesty and ability to connect with everybody has gained her 1.3 million followers on Instagram.
Bottom Line - I love celebrity memoirs. I just do. I like to find out that they are just like me. They have laundry that piles up, they love to watch old Friends episodes, and they love to hang out with their friends. This Will Only Hurt A Little is a fun one that I promise you will enjoy, too.
