A genuinely sweet and fun to read Hollywood memoir. If you are a Parks and Recreation fan, this is a really nice trip down memory lane. Everyone wants to hear that the actors and show runners of their favorite show were a big family in real life and they all loved each other. That is pretty close to the case here. Jim OHeir has nothing but love for his co-stars and the story that brought him through Parks and Rec to winning an Emmy to now hosting a podcast about it. He fangirls about Henry Winkler and Mary Tyler Moore, he reminisces about the improvised lines and talked about filming and being made a series regular. There are many candid photos shared throughout and lots of first person narratives from Mike Schur and Greg Daniels. I loved hearing the inside scoop on how the show was cast and the business of producing it.
I was lucky enough to get a signed first edition because I pre-ordered from Barnes and Noble. A nice addition to my bookshelf and this would be a great Christmas present for the Parks and Rec fan in your life.
