Love this book. Gershon is an excellent writer and the tales she tells are funny and illuminating. A quick read with a lot to offer either from a show business perspective , a growing up in the San Fernando valley perspective or a maturing perspective. Highly recommended.

loved these stories from gina about acting and finding her journey to becoming an actor. loved that she did both showgirls and bound in the same year and loved that she wrote about her family.

It was a really quick read for me, and I enjoyed her stories of growing up in the Valley and insights to some of her movies (Showgirls and Bound). In addition to living in the Valley, she also lived in NYC and LA, and shared some stories from those places as well.

I am always interested in reading about what inspired somebody to start doing something, and for Gina, it started at Beverly High School in Beverly Hills, CA where she met fellow classmates who shared her interests in acting. She did write about her family, her siblings, but nothing on her own relationships. She had some cool stories about sparring with Bob Dylan in a boxing ring, hearing Purple Rain for the first time with Prince, hanging with Lenny Kravitz in high school.

From reading it, I learned that she has always stood up for herself and if something didn't feel or sound right, she left (there are few instances where she mentions this). I don't think I have ever seen her name as doing something stupid, and I say thanks and keep on doing what you do.

Gina Gershon is an amazingly talented actress and singer, but she absolutely shines as a writer. Part memoir, part guide to finding yourself and who you are, AlphaPussy is a refreshing collection of stories about finding your passion, trusting your gut, and becoming an AlphaPussy told through memories and recollections. Once I picked it up I could absolutely not put it down. If you read her first book, are a fan of her acting, or just think she’s an interesting person you won’t be disappointed when you pick up this book.
