Where Am I Now?: True Stories of Girlhood and… por Mara Wilson

If I did this over, I would have listened to the audiobook version. I think I would have found it more effective in that format due to Mara's ties to the storytelling community and how the book was developed. So if you have this on your TBR pile, that's my recommendation.

Where Am I Now?: True Stories of Girlhood and… por Mara Wilson

I really enjoyed this, learning more about Mara Wilson and her life. Like others of my generation, I watched her movies as a kid, but never knew much else about her. It was interesting to get this glimpse into her life, and especially since she's only a few months younger than I am, it was cool to get her perspective on things that I remember from my childhood/teen years. If you're going to read this, I really recommend the audiobook, because she narrates it herself.

Where Am I Now?: True Stories of Girlhood and… por Mara Wilson

So here's something you may not know about me: I was never a famous movie star when I was a kid. I know, shocking, right? I did not play any cute girl in any movies, and I understand if that's unbelievable but it's true. Mara Wilson, however, did.

You'd think that would make her life different from mine in every aspect, but no, actually, what I really enjoyed about this book was how relatable she is. She does a great job of describing her fears and anxieties, and how they have haunted her for most of her life. I think most people can relate to that, even if our anxieties don't run as deep as hers.

The book also has some sad moments, concerning her mother's and Robin William's deaths, but they are really well-written and heart-wrenching. I also really enjoyed reading about her relationship with her sister, even if I've got a pretty good relationship with my little sister, that part made me envy Mara and Anna. Skyping while doing mundane stuff like baking or painting your nails sounds lovely.

I had some trouble keeping up with the timeline and with what was going on in show choir and stuff. I'm not familiar enough with that part of US culture, it would seem (I mean, I never did watch Glee). Even so, a very good read about a former (sorta) actress that I think most people my age remember from our childhoods.… (mais)
