Synopsis

A hilarious, honest memoir—combined with just the right amount of relationship advice—from the popular actress and host of the hit podcast Anna Faris is Unqualified.

Anna Faris has advice for you. And it's great advice, because she's been through it all, and she wants to tell you what she's learned. 

After surviving an awkward childhood (when she bribed the fastest boy in the third grade with ice cream), navigating dating and marriage in Hollywood, and building a podcast around romantic advice, Anna has plenty of lessons to share: Advocate for yourself. Know that there are wonderful people out there and that a great relationship is possible. And, finally, don't date magicians.

Her comic memoir, Unqualified, shares Anna's candid, sympathetic, and entertaining stories of love lost and won. Part memoir—including stories about being “the short girl” in elementary school, finding and keeping female friends, and dealing with the pressures of the entertainment industry and parenthood—part humorous, unflinching advice from her hit podcast, Anna Faris Is Unqualified, the book will reveal Anna's unique take on how to master the bizarre, chaotic, and ultimately rewarding world of love.

Hilarious, honest, and useful, Unqualified is the book Anna's fans have been waiting for.

Goodreads review by Matthew

I have to say that I am quite impressed with this book. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but every time I have seen an Anna Faris movie she is extremely goofy. Because of this I was kind of expecting a goofy book without a lot of substance. Well, I will quote the old adage – don’t judge a book by its c......more

Goodreads review by Natalie

The road that led me down to pick this book up is a funny one and can be mainly credited to one character: Andy Dwyer. So basically, I was in a funk of watching a bunch ofParks and Recreation videos that started off with this hilarious compilation of Chris Pratt bloopers that had me nearly chok......more

Goodreads review by Sarah

4.5 stars I thought this was almost the perfect memoir-type book. It was almost everything I thought I would get. Anna was really honest and straightforward. I thought that her personality shone through and she came out looking like a really likeable, hilarious and humble person. A lot of times, when......more

Goodreads review by Stephanie

Let me start off by saying I love Anna Faris and I love her podcast. Okay so here is why I only gave this two stars. This is a review of the Audio CD. 1. She doesn't dig too deep into anything. I would've loved to hear more behind the scenes stories of her movie shoots. I feel like this book could've......more

Quotes

Praise for Unqualified

“Goofily self-deprecating, casually profane and occasionally raw, earnest and blunt, like Ms. Faris herself.”—The New York Times

“Unqualified is observant, sharp, and startlingly revealing, not only about Faris’s romantic history, but of the broader discrepancies between modern male and female Hollywood stardom writ large.”—The Ringer

“In her many quirky, comedic roles, Anna Faris has proven she isn't afraid to go there on screen (The House Bunny, anyone?). And in her new book, Unqualified, she proves she's just as daring and hilarious on paper.”—Health.com 

“Faris's expectedly hilarious memoir features stories about her childhood (like what it was like being the token short girl in elementary school) and legitimate advice about getting over breakups.”—InStyle.com

“[Faris] has an engaging voice and is capable of expressing a distinct point of view. She is most affecting in her occasionally bittersweet reflections, as she recounts stories about working in the industry, her anxieties and frustrations about auditioning, and the personal challenges of dealing with aging in Hollywood.”—Kirkus Reviews
