Confession time: I didn‘t watch Full House and haven‘t seen Fuller House either. However, I know who the actors are and have to say I really liked Barber‘s memoir. I‘d recommend to fans and non-fans alike. She seems like the type of person you‘d like to know and be friends with in real life. She speaks candidly about her career, anxiety, depression, parenthood, divorce, and coming to terms with who she is versus her character Kimmy. Engaging read.

I‘m a major Full House fangirl so I of course read this! Andrea has a strong voice in her writing and shares so many wonderful stories about a family that feels like my own. Beyond that though, her honesty around mental health, divorce, and running were just wonderful to read. I loved it and I love her! Also the pics are 😍

I truly didn't think I would enjoy this book as much as I did. Goodness, I had to renew it from the library before even cracking the cover. As a fangirl I was nervous to read Andrea's story, in hindsight I have no idea why, as her message was amazing. Her transparency about her past and future 5☆"It's funny how love for your child evolves...But the way in which the love evolves as time passes... that is the part of parenthood I didn't anticipate."

"I hope we will one day get to the point where someone's diagnosis of anxiety, depression, or any other mental illness is met with a similar response to those with a physical illness. Maybe then those who are suffering will feel less alone."

This book is as impressive for what it isn‘t, as for what it is, it is not a celebrity tell all, or a behind the scenes expose, what it is is a very real, and open account of life, life with a Mental Illness that often leaves her with Crippling Anxiety, as well as depression, but it is also a story of hope & help and a reminder that we need to loose the stigmas associated with mental illness...
