The Third Gilmore Girl by Kelly Bishop

fast-paced

true to emily gilmore and true to herself, kelly bishop's memoir is straight to the point, startlingly honest, and a joy to read. i imagine this will make an incredible audiobook, like overhearing a catch-up between old friends in a coffee shop.

honestly, and based on the title, i had hoped for a little bit more of a dive into gilmore girls as a show, and emily's place in it all as the third gilmore girl. that's not to say it was lacking necessarily, and her genuine adoration for the series from the very start is so warm. plus we all know emily has been team luke since day one
