Scrappy Little Nobody

Scrappy Little Nobody (Anna Kendrick, 2016)

How I stumbled upon it: It was my Secret Santa gift at work this year!

What it's about: Anna Kendrick's experiences on Broadway as a child, acting in Twilight and Pitch Perfect as an adult, and her current comedy routine on Twitter in essay form.  

What I thought: Anna is so self deprecating and the book was everything I expected after spending months crying laughing over her sassy tweets.  She does a great job of encapsulating what it is like to be an adult but not feel qualified to be one, and I learned a ton about her backstory and how she ended up as an actor in the first place.  She is one of the few people who truly comes across as down to earth and slightly weird as I imagine her to be in person.  Here's a link to some of her best tweets, too.
