Scrappy Little Nobody

3.5 / audiobook

For all the issues I have with this book I hold the editor responsible. The first few chapters about Anna's child acting career and her family are rather drab. The self deprecating humour feels forced or overdone. But as teenager Anna becomes a 20 something Anna things get more engaging. She gets real about stuff - like how she was broke when she got her oscar nomination for Up in the Air, how her outlook towards multiple things has evolved. I liked that.

Note on the audiobook - Anna talks really fast so actually had to listen at 0.8x for a bit to adjust my brain.
