Tell Me Everything: A Memoir – by Minka Kelly

Posted on 04/26/2023 by Mark

This book was provided to me by Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published.

The only reason I read this book is because I loved her character, Lila Garrity, on Friday Night Lights! But unfortunately, she doesn’t talk much about that show. I am pretty sure that she has a lot of material written down so she can write another book on Friday Night Lights. This book focuses a lot more on her childhood, and boy, it sure was rough. I had no idea.

Her father was a musician and was out of the picture for most of her childhood (although, she did have another father figure in her life), and her mother struggled to makes ends meet. They took shelter wherever they could. She does discuss her mom’s death due to cancer, but it wasn’t too depressing the way she described it.

I had no clue that Minka was a surgeon’s assistant and scrub technician.

I also had no clue that Minka worked in a peep show so she could make some money to help her move and get out of a relationship. He mom also worked a similar job to make money and even brought a young Minka to that place of work.

Overall, it was a quick and easy read for me.
