Managing Expectations by Minnie Driver (audiobook)

 genre: memoir/essay

I have been a longtime fan of Minnie Driver, so when I saw she'd written a book, I chose the audio intentionally so I could listen to her fantastic voice.  She did not disappoint.  Her book is a series of essays that go in a general chronological order and shed light on different experiences and relationships in her interesting and yet surprisingly normal life.  She is vulnerable and self-depreciatory.  It wasn't laugh-out-loud funny but I was truly entertained.  Every once and a while I was a little exhausted by her existential musings but most of the time I appreciated how thoughtfully she looked at the turns her life had taken.  From sneaking past the coast guard to hotels in Miami, from school productions to feature films, Minnie's life experiences have provided much food for thought.  I'm a fan.
