I've seen only a couple of movies she's in. Maybe the few interviews I've read or seen of Anna suggested she might have written an interesting book? Idk... At any rate, after reading the book sample, I was already hooked. Anna offers an entertaining, informative and humorous look into excerpts from her life. I don't know if I've ever read book that's made me laugh so much or so hard. Of course I normaly read true crime so...(only kidding!) I knocked out this book in only a few days from how entertaining it is. It was interesting to see how a middle class (seemingly introverted) person from Maine transitioned into the big Hollywood scene. What's more interesting is how grounded she seems to have remained. Granted it's her book and she could be a monster in reality : p but I have my doubt's on that. Anna is a very interesting person, seemingly filled with somewhat contradictory personality traits but never hypocritical. Just one example of many, she says herself she is a people pleaser and enjoys following the rules but has a destain for being nice and does not consider herself as such. As well she seems rather rebellious in her own ways. (Scrappy, it's in the title) The degree to which she shares her anxious / neurotic tendencies was bold and balanced with her humour. Her story was incredibly vulnerable at times but never once did I think she was seeking pity. Quite the opposite with the "Here's the truth, take it or leave it" kind of delivery. Again, the humour offered a nice balance and was VERY effective. I think "relatable" might be the best way to describe how Anna comes across in this book. She's done things that most people will never experience and yet when reading this book, it feels like she's that girl from down the street in a small town. I don't know who I'd specifically recommend this book to but I'd absolutely recommend it! Review: A career with a hole in the middle - Anna Kendrick wears strictly standard white cotton panties. She explains that she also likes to wear skin-tight jeans, and if you wear sexy skimpies under them, there's no way to prevent the skimpies from coming off when you peel off the jeans. Evidently she considers some situations only appropriate for semi-revelation. This is not the only clothing-related admission in this amusing book. It turns out that actresses destined for the famous "red carpet" have people called stylists to oversee the fashion requirements. Kendrick writes that, when she was up for an Oscar, her stylist commanded her not to actually sit down in the limo on the way to the ceremony, for fear of creasing her gown. She had to adopt a sort of semi-supine position. That same stylist made her buy $1200 shoes. I wondered, reading this, why this scrappy little by-then-somebody didn't tell the stylist to go make love to herself. I liked the parts where she wrote about her total dedication to showbiz. As a teenager, she talked her mother into driving her six hours to New York City, just for an audition, then six hours back to Maine in time for school. She writes about the brutal working hours on a film set, although here I suspect some exaggeration (switching from day shoot to night shoot without a complete rest day? I'd like to see the technicians' union waiver on that one.) She isn't shy about detailing aspects of her sex life, either, although of course only she knows how well the written account matches the actual truth. The telegram version is that she had the usual problem of finding a partner willing to commit. Seems the Hollywood guys not only resist declaring eternal love, they reject even the label "boyfriend" until the last possible moment. Kendrick's amours tend to be only peripherally involved in the biz--there are no stories about hanky-panky with co-stars or harassment by predatory ADs. In that respect this book may be unique among actress memoirs. There's no doubt at all that she's a talented and very good-looking young lady, with a terrific singing voice and a playful, self-deprecatory attitude. The writing is generally good, but I found the humor a little forced at times. A firmer editorial hand might have improved the book. I do have one complaint--it seemed to me that there was a hole in the middle of the narrative. One moment she's a struggling bit player with Ikea furniture, and the next she's an Oscar contender, it seems. I'd like to read about the middle bit, how she got an agent, how her auditions changed gradually from cattle-calls to one-on-ones, to "readings," and finally to what all actors hope for--the part of your career when they come begging for you rather than the reverse. If Kendrick has another book in her, I hope she'll cover that period of her professional life. Based on my enjoyment of this book, I'd read it like a shot. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01E4BC1RU | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #242,391 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #96 in Biographies of Comedians #238 in Actor & Entertainer Biographies #257 in Biographies of Actors & Actresses | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (7,311) | | Edition | Reprint | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 52.0 MB | | ISBN-10 | 9781501117206 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1501117237 | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 306 pages | | Publication date | November 15, 2016 | | Publisher | Gallery Books | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Enabled | | X-Ray | Enabled | ## Images ![Scrappy Little Nobody - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81o5XVe5dyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Insert Clever Headline Here *by N***K on February 18, 2022* I don't know how I came across this book.

Her anecdotes are amusing and her sense of humour is very self-depreciating and honest. A good light read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/117905683-scrappy-little-nobody](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/117905683-scrappy-little-nobody) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
