Quickly turning into my favorite Gilmore Girl.

Read Review Below

Rating: ★★★★

There are so many things I did not know about Kelly Bishop. For as long as I can remember, she has always been Lorelai’s Mom and that one Mom in Dirty Dancing. I picked up this audiobook on Spotify for another one of my daily walks, and I found myself immersed in her story. I literally stopped and gasped on the sidewalk a few times during this!
I was so delighted to learn how incredible of a woman she really is. And although it’s just a show, it’s made Gilmore Girls that much more real in my heart. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned that Rory is naive and Lorelai could be pretty immature, so is Emily my favorite Gilmore Girl now? I am pretty upset that she confessed she is Team Logan, but perhaps another viewing after this book will finally convert me from Team Jess (No, I can never let that happen!).
But seriously, Bishop’s story is inspiring.  She had a clear vision brought to life with perseverance,  compassion, and staying true to her values. Love!

One response to ““The Third Gilmore Girl: A Memoir” by Kelly Bishop”

  1. […] Memoirs are an exception when it comes to physical vs audio books. Personally, I always prefer them as audiobooks. When someone is telling their life story, I want to hear it in their voice. No surprise to close friends and family, I love Gilmore Girls. But Emily Gilmore (Kelly Bishop) was never my favorite. I grew up relating to Rory, and then one day realized I was older than Lorelai (ugh). But as I rewatch the series yet again, Emily is becoming more and more the sanest of them all. This book fully converted me to become an Emily Gilmore fan (but really, a Kelly Bishop fan). Bishop surprised me with her harsh childhood upbringing, her determination in pursuing what she loved, her extreme generosity, and her no-shits-given humor.
