I was surprised to find that I really liked this book! I've read a lot of celebrity memoirs by now. They are fun on audio and it can be nice to have some lighthearted company sometimes. I wasn't planning on spending money on this book but I found it at the library so I thought I may as well give it a try. Rebecca pitched it on the All the Books podcast as just some pure fun, like you're having coffee and sharing stories with Anna Kendrick. 
 I remembered in an interview I saw her do with Ellen at one point that Anna Kendrick describes herself as "awkward" and a bit of a misfit in typical social situations. There was one day when I was feeling a bit like that and it seemed like the right day to start listening to her talk about it, have some company and someone to relate to a bit. It turns out that was the perfect mood to be receptive to this book. 
 There really aren't any important lessons or morals in this book, but I appreciate that it doesn't pretend to have any (unlike Kunal Nayyar's book, for example, where he kept coming back to sounding like he was teaching unsolicited life lessons). It was interesting to hear Anna Kendrick's account from the other side of fame. For some reason I imagined that after appearing in Twilight and Pitch Perfect, she would be as rich as she looks on the red carpet. Instead, turns out she had been living in the same somewhat crappy apartment with the same old IKEA furniture as before. 
 I'm not sure if I actually would be friends with Anna Kendrick in real life, but I related to her enough to enjoy her anecdotes. Most of all, she was actually funny! It wasn't the forced, almost-funny anecdotes and writing-style that many comedic actors use. Her style was self-deprecating and cynical, deadpan with unexpected ridiculous language which kept catching me by surprise and making me laugh. 
 I had fun with this! It was great on audio. I recommend it as a nice background voice to keep you company as you multi-task (example, cooking, cleaning, packing).
