Summary

"It felt like I was speeding on the Autobahn toward hell, trapped inside a DeLorean with no brakes. And even if I could somehow stop, I'd still be screwed, because there's no way I'd ever be able to figure out how to open those insane, cocaine-designed doors."

The two-time Emmy Award-winning actress has written her first book, a surprisingly raw and triumphant memoir that is outrageous, moving, sweet, tragic, and heartbreakingly honest. Guts is a true triumph - a memoir that manages to be as frank and revealing as Augusten Burroughs, yet as hilarious and witty as David Sedaris.

With Guts, Johnston takes us on a journey so truthful and relatable, so remarkably fresh, it promises to stay with the listener for a long, long time.

I heard about this book years ago on Rupaul’s podcast and I wanted to find it. I only just came around to it after hearing that episode again and I’m so grateful, I’m about to start (again) my sobriety and this was so encouraging for me. Thank you :)

I hardly remember anything of this book, it was all about her rehab life... not much leading up to it or much to connect with.

Great story teller, super boring story
