Why I Picked ItNot only am I a bookworm, I also love theatre. Specifically musical theatre. (Plays are fine, but I just love the music being intertwined into the story). Kristin Chenoweth is an icon in the musical theatre realm, and I've always been a fan (not an I-pay-attention-to-everything fan, but I enjoyed seeing her involved in everything. It was time for another audiobook (I'm doing a good job of mixing them in with my normal reading right now!) and I thought I'd go with an autobiography. When I came across this, I thought it sounded great (especially since Kristin Chenoweth also narrates the audiobook!). SummaryThis is just a summary of Kristin Chenoweth's life so far. It documents her struggles (how do you come in third for almost every pageant you're involved in??), her successes (so many great things), her loves (because it's hard to find someone who can deal with a showbiz lifestyle), and her illnesses (did someone say stomach parasite?). She jumps back and forth from a present timeline and back to her history as well. How she's gotten where she is and what it has taken to get here. What I LikedI loved that she brought in some of the important people in her life to narrate a couple parts of her story. It was so cool to hear from one of her best lifelong friends. I also just loved that Kristin is so real. She is relatable. She is funny. She's good humored. She is definitely not afraid to make fun of herself (and her HUGE hit TV show, Kristin. HUUUGGEEE hit). Honestly, I never knew that Kristin was so based in her Christian faith (like I said, I didn't know much about her). I really liked hearing about how she stuck with her faith, even through show business. And no matter what, she was never afraid to share in her beliefs, though it seems like she never really pushed that on others. When she dated someone who had a Jewish heritage, she made sure to learn a ton about his faith so that she would understand him. Also, I think that Kristin had a great mindset. She had to make a lot of hard decisions between different projects. She taught herself to not look at just the fame and fortune that the opportunities would bring her, but she wanted to make sure she always based her decisions on the fun-factor of the project instead. I think that's advice we could all take. What I didn't likeOff the top of my head, I can't think of anything that I didn't like. It was a book that I kept wanting to listen to. I even went as far as to skip watching Netflix while working on my DIY wedding projects and just listed to Kristin's story instead. That doesn't happen often. Overall Impression 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟I'll give A Little Bit Wicked 5/5 stars! I'm glad I stumbled upon it, and I kind of wish I could get some more life lessons from Kristin! She shares a lot in her book, and I could stand listening to or reading it again to glean more from it.
