If you’re missing Gilmore Girls, nothing beats a memoir from Lorelei Gilmore herself. In this collection of personal essays, actress Lauren Graham opens up about life and love in Hollywood. She recounts awkward auditions (like the time she was asked to “audition her butt” for a role), the perils of meeting men at award shows (where you’re setting the bar “way too high”), and the one time she tried to go vegan to bond with Ellen DeGeneres. Of course, she also reflects on the making of Gilmore Girls and what it meant to return to her iconic role years later, offering a rare glimpse behind the scenes for fans of Lorelei and Rory.
