At the ripe age of thirteen, Kendrick had already resolved to “keep the crazy inside my head where it belonged.” Now she invites readers inside her brain, recounting the absurdities she's experienced on her way to and from the heart of pop culture. From her double life as a middle-school student who also starred on Broadway to her rise dazzling on the stage and screen, we enter her sharp and sweet, funny and serious (well, not that serious) world. |
