Scrappy Little Nobody – Anna Kendrick

I can’t say that I really planned on picking up Anna Kendrick’s new memoir, Scrappy Little Nobody, but a chance to hear her talk about it in person and get an autographed copy changed my mind.  And I’m glad it did.  Kendrick displays a healthy, self-deprecating sense of humor in telling the tale of her journey from Maine to Broadway and then to Hollywood.  She doesn’t take herself too seriously, which helps to make her relatable to those of us outside the industry and makes this one of the better celebrity memoirs I’ve read this year.
