Summary

Like Jenny Lawson and Caitlin Moran, Emmy-nominated actress and writer Betty Gilpin delivers a lightning-strike dispatch of hilarious, intimate, and luminous essays on how to navigate this weird and wondrous life。

Betty Gilpin has a brain full of women。 There’s Blanche VonFuckery, Ingrid St。 Rash, and a host of others—some cowering in sweatpants, some howling plans for revolution, and some, oh God, and some…slowly vomiting up a crow without breaking eye contact? Jesus。 These women take turns at the wheel。 That’s why Betty feels like a million selves。 With a raised eyebrow and a soul-scalpel, she tells us how she got this way。

Betty has depression, Betty has a dream, Betty has tits the size of printers。 She has debilitating shame and then, impossibly, a tiny voice saying what if。 She takes us from wild dissections of modern womanhood to boarding school to the glossy cringe of Hollywood。 We laugh through the failures (monologue to beagle! Ancient mentors proposing fellatio!) and quietly hope with her for the dream。 Whether that dream is love or liberation or enough iMDb credits to tase the demon snapping at her ankles, we won’t know until the shit-fanning end。 There’s Hamlet, there’s self-sabotage, there’s PTSD from turkey。 Stunning, candid, and laugh-out-loud funny, All the Women in My Brain is perfect for any reader who’s ever felt like they were more, or at least weirder, than the world expected。

Welp the marketing got me。 I had seen this cover and title on an ad with no other context and couldn’t resist。 This was so hard to get through because it was so middle of the road。 I didn’t know who she was, but I’ve read so many memoirs where I didn’t know who they were and got completely engrossed。 Not this one。 I dreaded picking it up to read a bit more and DNF at 52%。 I am assuming people who love the actor will love this regardless。 The highlights were about Hollywood and how women were tre Welp the marketing got me。 I had seen this cover and title on an ad with no other context and couldn’t resist。 This was so hard to get through because it was so middle of the road。 I didn’t know who she was, but I’ve read so many memoirs where I didn’t know who they were and got completely engrossed。 Not this one。 I dreaded picking it up to read a bit more and DNF at 52%。 I am assuming people who love the actor will love this regardless。 The highlights were about Hollywood and how women were treated, but it never really goes deep enough to examine what’s there。 It was just something that happened。 Every other story outside of auditions were so mundane they could have happened to your aunt。 The writer was neither comedic enough to keep my interest nor chaotic enough to warrant a memoir。 I just didn’t see the point, so clearly this was just not for me。 Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the audiobook in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Like reading a crazy book。 It literally feels like it’s going to gallop out of your hands if you loosen your grip。 But it’s good。 And funny。 And real。 It was as if I was running to keep up with the manic pace of it…。Would love for my actor cousin to read it and give me his thoughts。 Brave author, putting all raw energy out there, her journey into acting and as a woman in the business。 Even though I know nothing of that world, there was a lot I could agree with as far as women “ auditioning” role Like reading a crazy book。 It literally feels like it’s going to gallop out of your hands if you loosen your grip。 But it’s good。 And funny。 And real。 It was as if I was running to keep up with the manic pace of it…。Would love for my actor cousin to read it and give me his thoughts。 Brave author, putting all raw energy out there, her journey into acting and as a woman in the business。 Even though I know nothing of that world, there was a lot I could agree with as far as women “ auditioning” roles in Life, to be liked or chosen。 Plus she used the word “ trollop”, which delighted me😉 and her tale of getting her dog in NY warmed my very heart。I do appreciate a quick wit, so it’s a Yes。 ( and I loved the end。💗💗💗) 。。。more

"In all my running from myself, it is hard to remember that I also love the thing I’m running from。 That I’m in all this for the big feelings。 I don’t want them to be muted。 Not really。 But when I feel them, I feel them all the way, and the ground opens and that’s terrifying。"She kinda invaded my brain a little here。 This was really great。 "In all my running from myself, it is hard to remember that I also love the thing I’m running from。 That I’m in all this for the big feelings。 I don’t want them to be muted。 Not really。 But when I feel them, I feel them all the way, and the ground opens and that’s terrifying。"She kinda invaded my brain a little here。 This was really great。 。。。more

This audiobook was bonkers! I loved Betty Gilpin on GLOW, and was excited to see what else she had up her sleeve。 This was honestly WAY more than I bargained for! Truly a taste of chaos。 I had to be in the right frame of mind to enjoy this in the way it deserves。 I loved how off the wall Betty was, but wow, this was a trip! You had to jump in the passenger seat with her to commit to this listen。 Overall though, it was hilarious, powerful, and thought provoking。

Betty Gilpin is and always will be an icon。

I enjoyed this book and Betty Gilpin’s writing style; an added bonus of having her narrate the audio version that I listened to。 Three stars because it dragged with some repeating themes in the middle, but I’d recommend if you’re looking for an easy, laugh out loud funny memoir。

This was such a zany ride。 Gilpin’s insights on all the internal battles women fight on a daily basis as well as the struggles of being an actress were heartbreaking, humorous and relatable! She is also a phenomenal and entertaining narrator - honest, hilarious, witty, hopeful。 Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for this ALC in exchange for an honest review。

What more is there to say about finding yourself。 Betty puts every conversation i ever had or wondered when i was growing up trying to find a me。 I'm still looking at my age which is old。 but for now I am happy to live in hers。 Lets just say BETTY HAS A way into my heart!

Analogy overload。 This audiobook was just not for me。 Maybe I am not the target audience but between the excessive use of analogies and meaningless dialogue, I was lost。 The whole thing felt like a long rant that I could have lived without。 Thank you Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for a chance to receive this audiobook in exchange of an honest review。

Thank you Netgalley for providing a digital ARC。Betty has a talent for baring her soul in a way that will have you laughing one minute and crying the next。 I highly recommend picking up the audiobook read by the author, which I found gave so much life to an already great written voice。 While sometimes chaotic and confusing, the book is written in a way that feels like you're listening to a(n occasionally messy but overall loveable) friend rant。 Thank you Netgalley for providing a digital ARC。Betty has a talent for baring her soul in a way that will have you laughing one minute and crying the next。 I highly recommend picking up the audiobook read by the author, which I found gave so much life to an already great written voice。 While sometimes chaotic and confusing, the book is written in a way that feels like you're listening to a(n occasionally messy but overall loveable) friend rant。 。。。more

ALL THE WOMEN IN MY BRAIN, Betty Gilpin’s memoir, can be aptly summarized by one line from the back cover: “This book is my opus, and it is chaos。” Chaos it certainly is。 The first couple of chapters contain a mass of word vomit。 Eventually, things become more coherent。 The delivery of her stories influenced their impact for me。 For a book that was billed as being hilarious (GR synopsis), I was not laughing out loud。 Instead, I just felt sad for her。 The humor seemed very forced。 I’m not sure if ALL THE WOMEN IN MY BRAIN, Betty Gilpin’s memoir, can be aptly summarized by one line from the back cover: “This book is my opus, and it is chaos。” Chaos it certainly is。 The first couple of chapters contain a mass of word vomit。 Eventually, things become more coherent。 The delivery of her stories influenced their impact for me。 For a book that was billed as being hilarious (GR synopsis), I was not laughing out loud。 Instead, I just felt sad for her。 The humor seemed very forced。 I’m not sure if it’s a coping mechanism for her in dealing with her depression and trauma, if it was a suggestion by the editor/publisher, perhaps a combination, or something entirely different。 The parts of the book that I most enjoyed didn’t try to be funny。 They were the instances where a woman was speaking her truth to those that wished to listen。 I wish that had been a larger portion of the book as Betty has been through a great deal and definitely has much to say。 I may have not been the best audience for this book given that it wasn’t one of my most enjoyed memoir reads。 Those who are fans of Betty Gilpin or love to read memoirs may like to give ALL THE WOMEN IN MY BRAIN a try。Thank you to Flatiron Books for the ARC。 。。。more

Out the gate you know it's going to be a ride。 Gilpin is funny。 The writing is over the top, almost frantic。 The first chapter/essay felt like it whacked me in the face。 There is just so much going on, sentence-wise, so many metaphors mixed together, so many ideas squashed into a whiplash of "this is me trying to explosively convey everything all at once。" She definitely recognizes this herself so you'll either love the style or hate it。 After the 3rd chapter/essay, I got used to it and to be ho Out the gate you know it's going to be a ride。 Gilpin is funny。 The writing is over the top, almost frantic。 The first chapter/essay felt like it whacked me in the face。 There is just so much going on, sentence-wise, so many metaphors mixed together, so many ideas squashed into a whiplash of "this is me trying to explosively convey everything all at once。" She definitely recognizes this herself so you'll either love the style or hate it。 After the 3rd chapter/essay, I got used to it and to be honest, I think it does mellow out a bit。 Gilpin is very honest with some very serious topics: depression, suicidal thoughts, body dysmorphia, anorexia。I wouldn't say that she's articulated anything groundbreaking or new。 There's a lot of mindfucks that women, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, every freaking person could go into about our society。 But I found her life to be interesting to read about。 In particular the first few chapters I found to be the most interesting。 I assume that most actors (who've 'made' it to some degree) must have that in them, the love of spotlight。 So it was interesting to read about a very different Giplin who had to train herself, or yeah, you know, act the part despite herself。I love the cover - between the decapitated Barbie heads and the font type, I just thought it was very compelling。 。。。more

This is a essay/memoir like no other。 Betty Gilpin has one of the most unique ways of writing and describing feelings, situations and inner thoughts with both humor and cutting truth。 Gilpin's description of being a female in world that tries to define what exactly that should mean is spot on, convicting and at times gut-wrenching。 Whether you are already a fan of Gilpin or are just curious and enjoy a celebrity memoir that goes way beyond the surface level, this is a book for you。 Highly recomm This is a essay/memoir like no other。 Betty Gilpin has one of the most unique ways of writing and describing feelings, situations and inner thoughts with both humor and cutting truth。 Gilpin's description of being a female in world that tries to define what exactly that should mean is spot on, convicting and at times gut-wrenching。 Whether you are already a fan of Gilpin or are just curious and enjoy a celebrity memoir that goes way beyond the surface level, this is a book for you。 Highly recommend!Thanks to Flatiron Books for a gifted copy。 My thoughts are my own。My reviews can also be seen at www。instagram。com/justonemoorebook。 。。。more

3。5 stars, rounded up。 This is written in essay form, and some of the chapters were sooo relatable to me。 When she talked about female friends who never asked about her life or remembered anything about her, my heart broke。 I remember those middle school days when you just feel like a filler friend while you're all looking for your place and your people。 3。5 stars, rounded up。 This is written in essay form, and some of the chapters were sooo relatable to me。 When she talked about female friends who never asked about her life or remembered anything about her, my heart broke。 I remember those middle school days when you just feel like a filler friend while you're all looking for your place and your people。 。。。more
