Read by Lauren Graham.
A friend told me about this one and said it was really good. That was an understatement. I want to read it in book form as well because there are pictures but hearing it in Lauren Graham's voice was just...chef's kiss. She is not so far from Lorelai Gilmore in personality. The humor and care is spread throughout the memoir and I was genuinely interested in Lauren as a person; not just for information about Gilmore Girls. I found her to be as charming as one might imagine and her outlook on life is a delight to read. She sounds like the kind of person I want to be best friends with and I already wanted to be friends with Lorelai so it's great to know that the woman behind the character is just as wonderful. I did not know that she was also a novelist. Looks like there's more Graham in my future.

Quotes:
- "Don't let your plan have the last laugh, but laugh last when your plan laughs and, when your plan has the last laugh, laugh back laughing."
- "If absolutely everything important is only happening on such a small screen, isn't that a shame? Especially when the world is so overwhelmingly large and surprising? Are you missing too much? You can't imagine it now, but you'll look like me one day. Even though you'll feel just the same as you do now. You'll catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and think, 'How quickly it's all gone.' And I wonder if all the time you used watching those families whose lives are filmed for the television and making those cartoons of yourselves with panting dog tongues and chasing after that terribly pokemon fellow...well, will it feel like time well-spent? 'Here lies Ms. Jackson. She took more steps than the other old biddies on her road.' Is that the best I can leave behind? Is it all just designed to keep us looking down? Or to give us the illusion that we have some sort of control over our chaotic lives? Will you do me a small favor, dears, and look up?"
