TLDR: This autobiographical book of essays will make you feel like you’re chatting with a friend, particularly if you’re fond of comedy and Bravo TV. It’s a light non-fiction break.
The Longer Review: You probably know Casey Wilson, even if you think you don’t. She’s seemingly like Kevin Bacon in that there are never more than six degrees of separation between her and very notable films/TV shows. She co-wrote and appeared in Bride Wars (movie), did a stint on SNL, and co-starred in Happy Endings (TV series).
The Wreckage of My Presence is an easy read, and relatable for many. There are no ‘big lessons’ to learn here; simply childhood memories, parenting and Hollywood anecdotes, and LOTS of Real Housewives references.
