"This is the memoir for folks who think they hate celebrity memoirs. Yes, you get details about Griffin Dunne’s longtime friendship with the late Carrie Fisher, glamourous Hollywood parties and his acting career. But Dunne also writes with loving honesty about his family: his brother, who struggled with mental illness, his mother, who lived with multiple sclerosis, and his younger sister, Dominique, whose murder devastated the family but also ignited his father Dominick’s career as a true-crime writer. The book is an answer to why Dunne didn’t make it big as an actor: He was a writer all along."
