About this listen

 From the beloved star of Gilmore Girls and the New York Times bestselling author of Talking as Fast as I Can comes a candid, insightful, and wildly entertaining essay collection about her years in show business, featuring stories that range from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Lauren Graham has graced countless television screens with her quick wit and larger-than-life personality, earning a reputation as a pop culture icon who always has something to say - and fast. Now Graham shares personal stories about her career in entertainment, from her early days navigating Los Angeles as a struggling actress in a red Volkswagen, to her first appearance on late-night TV, to the challenges of ageing gracefully in Hollywood. With her signature sense of humour and down-to-earth storytelling, she tells all and never spares a detail (as long as she hasn't forgotten it).

In 'R.I.P. Barneys New York' she writes about an early job as a salesperson at the legendary department store (and the time she inadvertently shoplifted); in 'Ryan Gosling Cannot Confirm' she attempts to navigate the unspoken rules of Hollywood hierarchies; in 'Ne Oublie' she warns us about the perils of coming from an extremely forgetful family; and in 'Actor-y Factory' she recounts what a day in the life of an actor looks like (unless you're Brad Pitt). She also welcomes back her alter ego Old Lady Jackson to share some more homespun wisdom ('Buy wrapping paper in January when it goes on sale') and reveal the easiest recipe for orange marmalade you'll ever find (which isn't actually easy, because easy recipes for marmalade are a total time suck and just another internet lie).

Filled with surprising anecdotes, sage advice, and laugh-out-loud observations, these all-new, original essays showcase the winning charm and wry humour that have delighted Graham's millions of fans.

Critic Reviews

With her signature humour, tenderness and warmth, Lauren Graham offers us another gem of a book in Have I Told You This Already? A read so good it feels like having a hot cup of coffee with the author herself
As funny and warm and charming as Lauren herself
Have I Told You This Already?, Lauren Graham's fourth delicious book of musings, is fast, furious, smart and ridiculously funny. Apparently she's not just our modern day answer to Carole Lombard, she has a generous dose of Dorothy Parker thrown in for good measure. It's not particularly fair, actually. But then again life never is
Graham's writing is fresh, sharp and very funny. Her voice invites the reader in, emanating a refreshing opennessthat will make them want to be her best friend
While best known as the quirky Lorelai Gilmore on TV's Gilmore Girls, Graham has developed a strong second career as an author... This foray into personal reflections is a charming glimpseinto the life of a relatable and extremely likable actress. Graham's down-to-earth stories are funny and touching; a surefire fourth best-seller
Graham is fast and furiously funny in her latest collection of essays. . . Where Graham leads, we will definitely follow
Graham's latest book is an insightful, honest, funny, and moving collection of captivating stories
Lauren Graham is candid, genuine and as per usual hilarious in this series of essays giving us that inside look at what it is like being in the public eye, entertaining millions. There is a real wit to her prose, chapters are very readable and it feels like you are having a conversation with a best friend... Such a treat

Lauren’s best and most honest, heartfelt, yet funniest- but also most moving, book to date. I laughed and I cried - and was thoroughly entertained throughout her beautiful collection of essays. She also reads the audiobook absolutely beautifully.

Loved this audiobook. Was wonderful that it was read by Lauren, a great story telling voice and very engaging. Wonderful to have a personal glimpse into her life, and wonderful witty humour.
It was so great!! As a massive Gilmore girls fan I lap up anything of Lauren’s.

I would have loved for it to have been even longer.
She is a great writer, I loved both her other books.
I would have loved more of her time on gilmore girls and loved that it captured her experience of year in the life.
Hope that she continues to bring more books into this world.

Love love - Lauren Graham just something about her
