When I
choose this book, I thought it was an autobiography so obviously I didn’t read
the description. I grew up with the rat pack, so after I got over my
disappointment of not hearing about Ringwald’s “real” life I did enjoy her
fictional novel. I loved the way the short stories, that are completely on
their own, intertwine to make a complete story. My favorite storyline was “My
Olivia” where a six-year-old boy feels he is really a girl. I would love
Ringwald to develop this short story into a complete novel. The audio was
narrated by Ringwald herself, which I believe enhanced my enjoyment of the stories.
She has a great voice for audiobooks. I will definitely be reading her other
book, Getting the Pretty Back:
Friendship, Family, and Finding the Perfect Lipstick, which includes at
least some personal anecdotes. She also narrates some novels by other authors I
may look into at a later date.
