An Audible best celebrity memoir of 2023

“A timely, urgent portrait of working-class American women.”
—Gabrielle Union

In her highly anticipated memoir Tell Me Everything, Minka Kelly shares a story as powerful as it is page-turning.

Fans know her as the spoiled, rich cheerleader Lyla Garrity on Friday Night Lights or as the affluent, mysterious Samantha on the HBO megahit Euphoria. But as revealed for the first time in these pages, Minka Kelly’s life has been anything but easy.

Raised by a single mother who worked as a stripper and struggled with addiction, Minka spent years waking up in strange apartments as she and her mom bounced around the country, relying on friends and relatives to take them in. At times they even lived in storage units. She reconnected with her father, Aerosmith’s Rick Dufay, and eventually made her way to Los Angeles, where she landed the role of a lifetime on Friday Night Lights.

Now an established actress and philanthropist, Minka takes this next step in her career as a writer. She has poured her soul into the pages of this book, which ultimately tells a story of triumph over adversity, and how resilience and love are all we have in the end.

    This is a great book. Even though I am male, many parts of this book mirrored my younger life. I had many “a-ha” moments. (So…..that’s what’s going on in my brain). Thanks Boo.

    I remember seeing Minka in movies and shows but didn’t think much about her until I stumbled on the armchair anonymous podcast with Minka talking about this book. As a person that can relate to this book on multiple levels it was so honest and raw. I can appreciate her story and would recommend especially if your seeking healing from childhood trauma.

    So shocking, soul baring, scary and inspirational! The story of her life is almost unbelievable but she comes across as a person who has great empathy and love. She has lead an extraordinary life with grace and forgiveness.
