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.”—
