She opens up about the challenges of being single in Hollywood (Strangers were worried about me; thats how long I was single!) the time she was asked to audition her butt for a role and her experience being a judge on Project Runway (Its like I had a fashion-induced blackout). In What It Was Like Part One Graham sits down for an epic Gilmore Girls marathon and reflects on being cast as the fast-talking Lorelai Gilmore. The essay What It Was Like Part Two reveals how it felt to pick up the role again nine years later and what doing so has meant to her.

Including photos and excerpts from the diary Graham kept during the filming of the recent Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life this book is like a cozy night in catching up with your best friend laughing and swapping stories andof coursetalking as fast as you can.
