From the time she was two and \"aced out in her nudes\" to explore the neighborhood (as her mom famously described her toddler jailbreak), Busy has always been headstrong, defiant, and determined not to miss out on all the fun. These qualities led her to leave Scottsdale, Arizona, at the age of nineteen to pursue her passion for acting in Hollywood. But much like her painful and painfully funny teenage years, chasing her dreams wasn't always easy and sometimes hurt more than a little. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn a memoir \"that often reads like a \u003ci\u003eReal World\u003c\/i\u003e confessional or an open diary\" (\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e), Busy opens up about chafing against a sexist system rife with on-set bullying and body shaming, being there when friends face shattering loss, enduring devastating personal and professional betrayals from those she loved best, and struggling with postpartum anxiety and the challenges of motherhood. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut Busy also brings to the page her sly sense of humor and the unshakeable sense that disappointment shouldn't stand in her way--even when she's knocked down both figuratively and literally (from a knee injury at her seventh-grade dance to a violent encounter on the set of \u003ci\u003eFreaks and Geeks\u003c\/i\u003e). The rough patches in her life are tempered by times of hilarity and joy: leveraging a flawless impression of Cher from \u003ci\u003eClueless\u003c\/i\u003e into her first paid acting gig, helping reinvent a genre with cult classic \u003ci\u003eFreaks and Geeks\u003c\/i\u003e, becoming fast friends with \u003ci\u003eDawson's Creek\u003c\/i\u003e castmate Michelle Williams, staging her own surprise wedding, conquering natural childbirth with the help of a \u003ci\u003eMad Men\u003c\/i\u003e-themed hallucination, and of course, how her Instagram stories became \"the most addictive thing on the internet right now\" (\u003ci\u003eCosmopolitan\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBusy is the rare entertainer whose impressive arsenal of talents as an actress is equally matched by her storytelling ability, sense of humor, and sharp observations about life, love, and motherhood--\"if you think you know Busy from her Instagram stories, you don't know the half of it\" (Jenni Konner). Her conversational writing reminds us what we love about her on screens large and small.
