Jane Lynch is one of my favorite actresses, so when her new bio, Happy Accidents was released, I had to grab it.
I love, so much, that you can hear her voice the whole time you are reading. She doesn't leave the persona she has cultivated - she keeps it all authentic and comical. I can also see this being a helpful guide for anyone struggling with some of the issues that faced Jane. She is a very positive role model and lays everything bare. Though she claims most of her life has happened as a happy accident, but I'm not so sure. The lady has something to do with it. :)
Jane struggled with being gay and having some esteem issues, so the novel's main impetus is built around those struggles and how she coped. Not everything was easy and her path led her from alcohol to AA, from broken relationships to a solid marriage, and from winning a part in her middle school play to writing and performing in her own shows. I love that she talks you through the evolution of her career and keeps it interesting. The pictures of Jane from childhood to present day were also a nice touch.
All in all, if you like Jane Lynch, you're going to enjoy her book and maybe even laugh a bit. Definitely a chuckle.
