5 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
In hilarious and tender essays, #1 New York Times bestselling author Chelsea Handler shares her unforgettable story of becoming the woman she always wanted to be. Theres a woman I want to become, Chelsea Handler thought as a child. Shell be strong and confident. Shell light up a room and spread that light to make others feel better. Shell make a living being herself. Shell be a survivor. At ten years old, Chelsea opened a lemonade stand and realized shed make more money if the drinks were spiked. So she added vodka to her recipe and used her earnings to upgrade herself to first-class on a family vacationleaving her parents and siblings in coach. She moved to Los Angeles and got fired from her temp job when she admitted she didnt know how to transfer calls. Shes played pickleball with the scions of an American dynasty. Shes sexted a governor. She shared psychedelics with strangers in Spain. When she accidentally ended up at dinner with Woody Allen, she was not going to leave the table without asking him a very personal pointed question. She went on national television and talked about having threesomes. She's never been one to hold back. But this life of adventure and absurdity is only part of her story. Chelsea knows what it is to truly show up for her familycanine and human, biological and chosen. Shes discovered how to spend time with herself, how to meditate, how to be open to love, and how to end a relationship with dignity. She is a sister to the many women who rely on her. Surprisingly vulnerable and always outrageous, Chelsea Handler captures the antic-filled, exhilarating, and joyful life shes builta life that makes the rest of us think, Ill have what shes having.

I didn‘t care for the self help aspect of this book but I love listening to her books, so I give a Pick to the audiobook.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I really loved this, and her memoir prior. They are both more personal than her others - she‘s published 6! - yet still outwardly funny and rife with dark humor. A theme of gratitude runs through this personal essay collection, which covers Covid times, our re-emergence from solitude, becoming the woman she has always strived to be; someone she can be proud of. A must-read for Chelsea fans! This has sparked a reread of her backlist.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Entertaining and heartfelt! I‘ve been a fan of Chelsea Handler for a long time, and her evolution has been such a joy. In this book, she shares how she is working hard to be the woman she dreamed she would become when she was a little girl. Are you on track to become the person you‘ve always longed to be? She seems to only be getting more authentic, thoughtful, confident, generous, and wise with time. 🎧

If you‘re not a person whose kept up with Chelsea lately (ba dum swish), I‘d recommend watching her comedy special “Evolution” before reading this book. It shows you her headspace.

This book is not what I expected in that there isn‘t a lot of Handler‘s dark, suggestive humor. Instead, it feels more like an honest journal of someone attempting to let go and let love steer. It‘s admirable and depending on where you‘re also at in life, relatable.

Melismatic To me, this humanized Chelsea even further. I‘ve been a fan since before her ‘Chelsea Lately‘ days. This book is vulnerable and honest and (even more) proof she‘s more than a standup character. 2mo
Melismatic My thanks to Random House/The Dial Press for this ARC! It‘s available Feb 25th! 2mo

About to finish my book club pick so figured I‘d start this memoir from NetGalley to help get the ol‘ ratio up.

I was a fan of Chelsea‘s talk shows in the early 2010‘s - especially when I first moved to NYC. I even saw her live. I‘m getting the vibe that this memoir is a bit more serious in tone and less sarcastic. We shall see!
