I thought this book read more like an article for Seventeen Magazine. Anna Kendrick's life hasn't been a real difficult one. She was a child star, small for her age, had supportive parents...and yet she is still full of angst? I also wished she had talked more about being on Broadway and included way less "filler".

I’ve seen Anna Kendrick in “Up in the Air” ,”50/50” and “Drinking Buddies” and think she is adorable. However this book was just not that interesting. I didn’t enjoy her “cutesy” humor.
I liked how relatable and down to earth Anna was in this book. Surprisingly, her reading wasn't always paced or inflected naturally, so some of it seemed a little forced, even though you could tell she was trying to be sincere. Still entertaining stories about her childhood and early career. I'd love to read the book she's planning to release when she's 80 =P

4.5 stars.
I rarely read biographies but this one was completely worth it! So hilarious and so refreshing to see an actress who doesn't take herself too seriously. ...more
