Where Am I Now? felt more like a series of autobiographic essays than a memoir per se. I like Mara Wilson, I follow her on Twitter and all, and thus I was super excited to read about her life—we tend to do that, don't we? We always want to know more about a stranger's life. Where Am I Now? was, in this aspect, more or less exactly what I expected. In this book, she tells us about her career, her family, her OCD, Robin Williams. I feel closer to Mara now, in a way, and I still like her very much, now both as an actress/pseudo-famous person and as a writer.
I was disappointed, though, that she did not mention her bisexuality, not even once, focusing instead on some of her heterosexual relationships. She evens calls herself a straight woman in some instances—which, of course, is what she believed she was at the time, but it felt weird all the same.
