This book was like spending a snowed-in long weekend with a best friend/sister; sharing stories, laughing, crying, sharing, eating good food & bonding in front of a fireplace would be. I listened to it with great care not to inhale it. Like a little girl given her first & only Hershey's Kiss, I slowly licked a bit at a time so it would last as I had a glass of milk to finish with it. I am so glad I heard her tell me the truth in her own voice, in her own words. This was so heartfelt, so loving, so menchadic (sic) as she is. I wish we'd grown up together, really were family & every once in a while we could talk (schmooze.)

Reader was very good - was able to pronounce Yiddish words. Some new info that was interesting. Wish it had concluded after she gave birth to Jason Gould or divorced Elliott Gould. Ending seemed abrupt.

Though not what I expected a book that has changed me. Wasn't that exactly what you intended MLT?

Listening, I savored all his experiences. I heard the soundtrack & scenes from all the films. Andrew would've been my choice in St. Elmo's Fire. I miss his acting but this Audible gave me a taste of him in that packs films. Thanks!

Listening to these women catch up and relive memories from Grey's Anatomy was a great listen. The podcast was funny, warm and so comfortable I wished I was in the room with them.

Wish some of it at least was Lucille's own taped voice. I grew up the I Love Lucy reruns & she & Desi were a great team at work if not always at home. When I was allowed to stay up late it was because she was going to be on The Tonight Show. As herself, she reminded me of my mother at times in those interviews. Lucie did it all up. putting it together and sharing this was a true gift. Her Dad was a smart, fair dealing businessman, her mother was too. They changed so much in TV and how it was made, it's amazing. This Audible left me wanting at least 3 more chapters. It flew by so fast.

Sharon Gless makes her life irresistible. she paints with voice & words each scene, so vividly, you feel you were in the room. Her many years of work & many years of meeting the personal challenges "had me" within the first 10 minutes.

If you think you know her from any TV role she's played, boy, you're clueless. The only problem for me is that her memoir's end came too quickly... I need a sequel. This Audible was like a fabulous box of chocolates I could only enjoy one piece at a time. I had to use all my self-control to listen to an hour each evening because I sensed it would fly by too fast.

Sadly. I now wish I could call her and tell her about this terrific book I just finished. Or, also living on Planet Florida, invite her to lunch because I'd like to call her a friend. So whether by Kindle or hard cover or Audible, get started now. This memoir is a fantastic ride that'll have you smiling, misty-eyed, nodding & wishing to know Ms. Guess in real life, too.
P.S. Ms. Gless, Christine Cagney always wished she could be you when she grew up.

P.P.S. Audible, when the reader says the chapter number, please have your apps number agree with it.

Grey's has been my passion since S1E1. When Scandal was born TGIT was a commitment I kept.

Hearing all the "voices" involved speak of the episodes of Grey's on set and off brought me back to the beginning of falling in love with the show. I hope S18 becomes the final season, says Covid. I want to be left satisfied and with more Meredith than S17 or the beginning of S18 have offered. As Pompeo has said on talk shows, it would be wonderful if all the characters could come back to say goodbye. Those that have passed did so on the beach S17, my hope is the rest do so S18.

This book is well written and as an Audible, well read. Don't hesitate to get it and enjoy it.

seems like it was written by an 11th grader. The reader can't speak English correctly- axe instead of ask???? You use this illiterate woman? If the author used Yiddish phrases, write them phonetically for God's sake, explain them to this narrator who clearly doesn't understand them nor can pronounce them. Don't use her anymore - she's beyond aweful!!! I deserve my credit back. This book and reader aren't worth the credit or money I pay for Audible. if possible I'd have given NO STARS!!!
