Unsinkable: A Memoir by Debbie Reynolds

4.0

I had a similar feeling of nostalgia reading this book as I did with her other memoir, 'Make 'Em Laugh'. This one is written with the same wit, humour and wonderful voice that made Debbie Reynolds such a beloved star in the first place. I would highly recommend the audiobook, as it's voiced by the star herself, and makes the words come alive from the page. She handles everything from the beginnings of her career at MGM and going from Miss Burbank to working to Gene Kelly, to her attempts at creating a museum for her huge collection of Hollywood memorabilia. Moreover, you get to hear her impressions of everyone from Betty White to Barbara Streisand.

Obviously, you read it posthumously as we sadly lost Debbie in 2016, but you feel like you're carrying a little part of her when you read this book. It's a funny, witty look at her career and her life, the dedication she has to her children and her work, and it's a wonderful book that will make your heart just soar.
