  I first found out about Kristin from Pushing Daisies. When I started looking around, I realized she was in Wicked, one of my favorite musicals (and book!). If you read her book you really should consider listening to the audio version. Kristin reads it and she has such a distinctive voice that it's really a pleasure to listen to. That, along with her giggles and snorts as she tells stories. That as well plus the guest appearances by her best friend Denny and her on again off again beau Aaron ... (show more)

  I first found out about Kristin from Pushing Daisies. When I started looking around, I realized she was in Wicked, one of my favorite musicals (and book!). If you read her book you really should consider listening to the audio version. Kristin reads it and she has such a distinctive voice that it's really a pleasure to listen to.

  Moving to New York with Denny, she didn't get overnight success but she did make people stand up and notice her with her talent. She describes the various performances and struggles and how she made it through everything.

  Remember, listen to the audio version! It's worth it! (show less)

The book is basically the story of her life, and the choices she made and the way she dealt with them. I absolutely loved it. In fact, I got the book from the library, but am going to be buying a copy for myself so I can read it again. I could relate to her on so many things, and found her insights to be so spot on, it was just excellent. Highly recommended! (show less)
