As someone who watched The Gilmore Girls in her late teens, early twenties, I was absolutely intrigued and fascinated to read Kelly Bishop’s memoir. Plus, she was also in Dirty Dancing, another one of my favourite movies from that portion of my life. This didn’t disappoint. It was a great insight into a phenomenal actress, one whose work has formed a really important part of my TV watching in my formative years.
The Third Gilmore Girl is well worth the read, and I’m really glad that I had the pleasure of diving into Bishop’s journey from show girl to Gilmore Girl. This was well written, engaging and impossible to put down. Such an amazing journey with so much joy in each and every moment. I adored learning more about the actress and travelling through time and theatres with her.
One of the things about this memoir that I really love is how open and honest Bishop is about her different challenges and circumstances. She unflinchingly shares the more hidden parts of her life with humour and humility. Her ability to acknowledge her mistakes, her challenges and all of the emotional turmoil of a life well lived made this story so difficult to put down. And completely unforgettable.
The Third Gilmore Girl is honestly one of the best memoirs I’ve read in a while. It had a little less drama and angst than some of the other more heartbreaking ones on my shelves. But, still plenty of drama and action to keep you intrigued. I truly enjoyed how open and honest Bishop is, without creating a heart racing intensity that I sometimes find in the books that I read.
