Reviews
"Wilson's humorous literary voice tells the story of growing up as a young female in the spotlight (and eventually stepping out of it) and the road of self-acceptance, discovery and everything in between." --BuzzFeed, "6 Captivating Memoirs By Women To Inspire You This Summer" "Lyrical and affecting . . . Wilson's perspective is humorous, relatable, and ultimately real. . . . This title is more than just another Hollywood memoir; it is a truly refreshing coming-of-age story." -- Library Journal "Warm . . . A heartfelt portrait . . . [Wilson] has experienced a great many highs as well as lows in her young life, and she shares them all with honesty, humor, and humility." -- Publishers Weekly "Genuine and authentic, funny and heartbreaking, Where Am I Now? is a book that reminds you that no matter how unique your life is, some things bind us all together." --Jenny Lawson, author of Furiously Happy and Let's Pretend this Never Happened "Growing up, I wanted to BE Mara Wilson. I always loved that she portrayed strong characters, especially as a female, even as a young child. Where Am I Now? is a delight." --Ilana Glazer, co-creator and star of Broad City "Former child star Mara Wilson has grown up to be a moving, funny, and thoughtful storyteller. Well, not up . As I understand it, she's still approximately the same height." --Megan Amram, author of Science...for Her!

Though Mara Wilson's childhood was unique, the themes of Where Am I Now? are universal." --Rachel Bloom, creator and star of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend "Wilson is more compelling as an adult than she was a child. Her writing is sharp, funny, and critical of the film industry and expectations placed on women who live their lives in public." --Longreads.com "The coolest girl to ever dump Hollywood." --Refinery 29 "Every time Mara Wilson opens her mouth, we like her even more." --The Huffington Post, "Wilson's humorous literary voice tells the story of growing up as a young female in the spotlight (and eventually stepping out of it) and the road of self-acceptance, discovery and everything in between." --BuzzFeed "[Wilson] returns as a talented writer with this collection of essays." -- Entertainment Weekly, "15 Books You Have to Read in September" "Funny [and] insightful." --GoodReads, "Best Books of the Month" "Wilson has left the acting (almost) completely behind -- and moved on to become a talented writer and playwright." --Bustle,"12 Memoirs By Badass Women to Add To Your Wishlist in Fall 2016" "Candid...witty and insightful. A-" -- InTouch "Contains engaging, poignant accounts of the actress-turned-storyteller's struggles to find her identity after losing her mother and Hollywood's adoration...Wilson covers difficult topics but can leaven a painful anecdote with incisive wit...When fans ask for a picture with her, she panics: 'I don't photograph well, and...they're going to put it on the Internet, where not everyone knows I'm funny and charming and generally a decent person.' And that's exactly how she comes across in this memoir." --ShelfAwareness "Lyrical and affecting . . . humorous, relatable, and ultimately real. . . [ Where Am I Now? ] is more than just another Hollywood memoir; it is a truly refreshing coming-of-age story." -- Library Journal "A heartfelt portrait . . . [Mara Wilson] has experienced a great many highs as well as lows in her young life, and she shares them all with honesty, humor, and humility." -- Publishers Weekly "A coming-of-age story that is not only entertaining, but also wise. . . . A readably candid, sharp memoir." -- Kirkus Reviews "Uplifting...charming and accessible." -- Booklist "Refreshingly earnest...If Where Am I Now? and its biting wit and charming self-awareness is anything to go by, [Wilson is] very easily running in the same league as the Lena Dunhams, Rachel Blooms and Ilana Glazers of the world." -- National Post (Canada) "Growing up, I wanted to BE Mara Wilson.

Synopsis
Mara Wilson has always felt a little young and a little out of place. As the only child on a film set full of adults, she started out with accidental fame and journeyed to relative (but happy) obscurity, learning a lot about growing up along the way. Her collection of essays illuminates a universal struggle: learning to accept yourself and figuring out where you belong. Exquisitely crafted, revelatory, and full of the crack comic timing that has made Wilson a sought-after storyteller and Twitter star, Where Am I Now introduces a witty, perceptive new voice., "Thoughtfully traces Mara Wilson's] journey from child actress to Hollywood dropout... Who is she now? She's a writer." -- NPR's "Guide To 2016's Great Reads" "Growing up, I wanted to be Mara Wilson. Where Am I Now? is a delight." -- Ilana Glazer , cocreator and star of Broad City Named a best book of the month by GoodReads and Entertainment Weekly A former child actor best known for her starring roles in Matilda and Mrs. Doubtfire, Mara Wilson has always felt a little young and out of place: as the only kid on a film set full of adults, the first daughter in a house full of boys, a Valley girl in New York and a neurotic in California, and a grown-up the world still remembers as a little girl. Tackling everything from what she learned about sex on the set of Melrose Place , to discovering in adolescence that she was no longer "cute" enough for Hollywood, these essays chart her journey from accidental fame to relative (but happy) obscurity. They also illuminate universal struggles, like navigating love and loss, and figuring out who you are and where you belong. Candid, insightful, moving, and hilarious, Where Am I Now? introduces Mara Wilson as a brilliant new chronicler of the experience that is growing up female., "Thoughtfully traces [Mara Wilson's] journey from child actress to Hollywood dropout...
