This Will Only Hurt a Little by Busy Philipps
3.0
3.5/5
First thought: this woman is a friggan baddie. She overcame a lot and is super open about her mental/physical health struggles. I really related to some of the insecurities she mentioned, and the struggles to really support and love herself. Talking about her abortion when she was a teenager was chilling and listening to her talk about all the sleaze bags in Hollywood (cough cough, James Franco) and producers who called her fat (negatively even though she was…..below average weight???) was infuriating. I appreciate her candidness.
Second thought: she’s not fully my type of human. She’s not always funny and she sort of gives off a pretentious, condescending vibe, which I don’t like. We all love Freaks & Geeks but like, come on - you’re not Meryl Streep, you know? But as I write that I feel like I’m exactly the type of bitch she writes about so…….do with that what you will.
