4. Scrappy Little Nobody by Anna Kendrick

amazon.co.uk

"Scrappy Little Nobody by Anna Kendrick has gotten me through my hardest days. She’s never been the star of the show growing up, and she never felt like she had everything together, which makes me feel like everything is going to be okay. Plus she’s the funniest person on the planet. I hate reading and I’ve read it twice !! This book definitely deserves to be bigger, it’s so relatable." –  Brianna C

5. Born A Crime by Trevor Noah

amazon.co.uk

"Trevor Noah’s ‘Born a Crime’. You can’t put it down! He tells incredible and crazy stories about growing up during apartheid in South Africa and dissects racism in such a smart way, making you laugh and cry at the same time. This is a book that will leave you reeling when you finish it, and it is so relevant to understanding the conversation about racism and poverty in North America today. I truly think every young adult should read it." –  Jessi4

Sometimes I listen to certain chapters when I have a super bad day. 10/10" – TaylorA

8. The Actor's Life by Jenna Fischer

amazon.co.uk

"One of the books I really like that I haven't seen get a lot of coverage is Jenna Fischer's new book The Actor's Life. I just finished listening to the audiobook and it was so great! Rainn Wilson did this hilarious intro and Jenna narrated it fantastically and really gave a "behind the scenes" look at Hollywood's operations without being gossipy. Jenna interviewed other actors at the end and it was cool hearing it from a number of perspectives. I don't know why I don't see this book mentioned more – totally loved it!" – What Exists

I highly recommend checking it out." – Maria Jamal

14. Buffering by Hannah Hart

amazon.co.uk

|idk if she counts as a "celebrity," but Buffering by Hannah Hart was inspiring. As a gay girl growing up with internalized homophobia, I could relate to a lot of her experiences, and it was refreshing to read something that was just so openly honest. It's one of my favorite autobiographies." –

Her voice is fantastic and her life has been incredible. I laughed and cried. I can’t wait to listen to some of the other books that people have recommended. If you get Tiffany’s book you won’t be disappointed. She is fantastic. Trevor Noah said to her if you could bottle sunshine it would be Tiffany Haddish! I believe that!" –jedilov

amazon.co.uk

"Gabourey’s story is unbelievable. I listened to the audiobook on a 10 hour road trip. I’d packed up everything I owned to move from Texas to Arizona. Gabby’s words made me feel like I had a friend in the car with me. The kind of friend who would call you on your bullshit, tell you not to ignore anyone trying to knock you down, and encourage you to make your own magic." – jrwhetstone
