Excellent
Minnie Driver's memoir is a beautiful book that is funny, honest, revealing, heartfelt, and moving. It is filled with poignant and laugh-out-loud funny scenes from her life, and she reveals that happy endings are overrated and that the story does not necessarily begin or end where it should. She hopes that readers will enjoy it.

A beautiful book: funny, honest, revealing, heartfelt and moving
- Adam Kay, bestselling author of This is Going to Hurt
Vital, heartfelt and surprising, these tales from a life are told with humor, style and intelligence.
- Graham Norton
A wonderful memoir by a glorious writer: funny, poignant, profound.
I gobbled it up in one joyous sitting.
- Elizabeth Day
An absolute jewel of a book. Gloriously readable, hilarious, painful, acute, sharply recalled and vividly brought to life
- Stephen Fry
A dazzling tell-most memoir: poignant and laugh-out-loud funny scenes from the life of actor Minnie Driver.
I love stories. I have mostly told other people's, but now, in telling my own, I realize how all our stories are connected by that great leveller of acclaim, loss, fortitude, and fortune: being human.
When I look at my life from the alleged halfway point, some patterns are revealed: one, that the story does not necessarily begin or end where it should; two, happy endings are overrated. And three, happy endings are almost never the end.
This book is memoir-ish. A tell-most. Largely because there's a lot I don't remember, and a lot that's not worth talking about.
So, this is a collection of stories about how things not working out - worked out in the end. How reaching for the dream is easily more interesting, expansive, sad and funny than the dream itself coming true.
I really hope you enjoy it. Love, Minnie x
