From losing her mother to being a mother herself, I appreciated the honest and poignant parts about these huge events that many also experience. It was an honest look at big parts of her life told in manageable essays. I absolutely loved Casey Wilson on Happy Endings and heard great things about her book. The thoughts and opinions are my own.more I won this in a Goodreads and Harper Collins giveaway. She often went off on tangents that led me into thinking these were musings by the author, especially on current pop culture subjects. There were a lot of places I wish she had gone a little deeper. I appreciated her explanations of some of what goes on behind the scenes in the show business industry. She was honest and self deprecating at times. She's obviously a very outgoing, vivacious, and very funny person.

But it was those moments where she realizes just how much her mother’s death has impacted her that really got me. I found myself laughing out loud through her description of a spring break hookup and her dad’s perm. This self awareness infuses each one of these essays and makes them so spot-on. She is keenly observant when it comes to what drives women and is able to package it in perfect pop culture references. I fell in love with Casey Wilson not just because she shares my obsession with Real Housewives, but because she fully acknowledges the garbage that it is and how its impacted society. Told in her Casey way, which basically means she acknowledges her craziness and embraces it, these essays cover her childhood, dating experiences, acting life, and how grieving her mother’s death has impacted her life. That’s why I gobbled up her collection of essays. I now keep up with her via her podcast, Bitch Sesh. I loved her on SNL and was fully obsessed with her on Happy Endings (a show that does not get nearly as many accolades as it deserves).
