""Zosia Mamet's essays are sometimes hilarious and sometimes poignant; often, they are both. As an actress and nepo baby—a ‘B minus one at best’—she gives us a front-row seat to what it was like to grow up in the entertainment industry, and somehow manages to make this rarefied experience deeply relatable. Ninety-nine percent of girl readers will wince in recognition."" —Naomi Fry, New Yorker staff writer ""Zosia makes you laugh and then breaks your heart and then makes you laugh again in this beautifully honest and brutally hilarious collection of essays. Her tales of relationship and show biz heartbreaks and triumphs are wildly personal and yet incredibly relatable. I didn't want the stories to end!"" —Andrew Rannells, actor and writer ""Zosia is an incredible actress in the same ways she shines here as an incredible writer—hilarious, open-hearted, and full of courage…. No matter the love you may have for Zosia Mamet and the roles she has played, her generous commitment to showing you her insides in these essays will make you love her even more — her singular way of seeing the world while contending with her own fears, insecurities, and longing for love that come along with the role of simply being human."" —Stephanie Hsu, actress ""Zosia Mamet is a wildly unique unicorn who grew up in the wildest, most nontraditional circumstances, who somehow manages to also be relatable, if not the readers best friend. Her book gives unprecedented access to inside the castle of showbusiness, while also having the semi universal experience of how to go through life as -gasp- a girl. This book is a must for all girls and everyone who knows a girl."" —Whitney Cummings, comedian ""Funny and moving … contains some of the best descriptions of acting since Al Pacino’s Sonny Boy."" —Kirkus
