Enjoy!

Julianna is great at telling a story and her story is surprisingly interesting. Mostly about her childhood/youth, doesn't really go into her acting career or her co-stars, but if you go in not expecting gossip it really is a great book.

This book takes us through Julianna Margulies's life; from childhood through to Good Wife. She touches on Anthroposophy and eurythmy. The former is the practice of getting close to god through human action, typically by the use of eurythmy which is a form of expressive dance. she also discusses the time she ignored a dental situation until it became dire. It was a fascinating read.

Tbh, there was nothing particularly unexpected about her life. Her parents divorced; her mother moved a lot & had many boyfriends; her father was distant. When she moved to NYC, she worked as a waitress (shocking!) until she relocated to LA for ER. She doesn‘t tell any specific stories about her time on ER or The Good Wife. Her analysis of her very normal personal relationships was dull. If you‘re a celebrity, just spill the tea! B/t a so-so & pan

I have never seen an episode of The Good Wife, I hear it's great. But what I have watched a ton of is ER! 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️ I was really hoping she would tell us why she turned down that $27million paycheck for two more seasons, she does. What surprised me is this book is not a tell all, its really a look at how her crazy childhood and adolescence shaped the woman she has become. It's super interesting and I enjoyed it.⭐⭐⭐⭐

1. Dobby and any other Harry Potter characters that died in the end.

2. My favorite book is Tuck Everlasting and I really love the melancholy ending. It's the first time I got that sweet sad feeling.

3. Tagged - Finished it this morning.

I enjoy a good celebrity memoir. The best bits of this one kick in after the halfway mark. Before it‘s her interesting but uneventful childhood (although she lives in a lot of different places, the narrative about this time is lack luster). #ARC #Netgalley
