Let's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty
Praise forLet's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty“Relaxing  and charming . . . like a dishy lunch with the movie star you thought  you’d never be lucky enough to meet. . . . This is delicious writing and  is full of a positive point of view, exclamations of the beauty of  ordinary things and helped turn me from sour to sweet in the few hours  that I was reading her book. . . . Diane Keaton is in a class by herself  and this book is good for the soul.”—Chicago Tribune “Wise, witty, thoughtful, uplifting, the truth, unvarnished—and very funny.”—Toronto Star“She’s  talented, iconic, quirky . . . and wonderfully blunt. This is just a  small sampling of the reasons we love Diane Keaton, and they all  permeate the pages of her new memoir. . . . Keaton sticks to her guns  and keeps it totally honest. And it isbeyondrefreshing.”—Elle “A breezy little volume by an actress facing old age with aplomb. . . .  [Keaton] sprinkles memories of her long career, including her  friendships and more with certain leading men . . . [and] drops plenty  of names.”—Kirkus ReviewsPraise for Diane Keaton’sThen Again “A far-reaching, heartbreaking, absolutely lucid book about mothers, daughters, childhood, aging, mortality, joyfulness, love, work and the search for self-knowledge.”—The New York Times “A poem about women living in one another’s not uncomplicated memories . . . Part of what makes Diane Keaton’s memoir,Then Again,truly amazing is that she does away with the star’s ‘me’ and replaces it with a daughter’s ‘I.’ ”—Hilton Als,The New Yorker “As warm, funny, and self-deprecating as Keaton’s onscreen persona—[Then Again] traces a profound dramatic arc: that of a young woman coming into her own as an artist, and of a daughter becoming a mother.”—Vogue “Both heartbreaking and joyful, [Then Again] covers the gamut of life experiences facing all women.”—Chicago Sun-TimesFrom the Hardcover edition.
