Guts
Published by Simon & Schuster
The New York Times–bestselling memoir from the two-time Emmy Award–winning actress is “vividly and memorably rendered . . . honest, brave and funny” (Kirkus Reviews).
“It felt like I was speeding on the Autobahn toward hell, trapped inside a DeLorean with no brakes. And even if I could somehow stop, I’d still be screwed, because there’s no way I’d ever be able to figure out how to open those insane, cocaine-designed doors.”
The award-winning star of Third Rock from the Sun and The Exes, Kristen Johnston has written her first book, a surprisingly raw and triumphant memoir that is outrageous, moving, sweet, tragic, and heartbreakingly honest. Guts is a true achievement—a memoir that manages to be as frank and revealing as it takes us on a journey from addiction to recovery that is so truthful and relatable, so remarkably fresh, it promises to stay with you for a long, long time.
“Guts is at once deadly serious and wildly hilarious—an impossible magic trick at which you are powerless not to stare.” —Rob Burnett Executive Producer, The Late Show with David Letterman
“I literally couldn’t put it down.” —Amy Sedaris
“Disarming in its honesty, hysterically funny, pure, real, and so heartbreakingly brutal.” —Kate Winslet
“A spirited, raw and thrilling book.” ?George C. Wolfe, director and writer
“A captivating, laugh-out-loud, totally vulnerable and excellently crafted book.” —Andy Cohen, VP of programming and host at Bravo
“Should be required reading for anyone who is an addict, or simply cares about one. Which means everyone on the planet.” —Joe Schrank, National Youth Recovery Foundation & co-creator of TheFix
