Nyní Lauren přináší soukromé historky o své kariéře v zábavním průmyslu od prvních dní, kdy coby začínající herečka brázdila v červeném volkswagenu Los Angeles, přes své první hostování v late nigh show až po výzvy spojené s tím, jak v Hollywoodu elegantně stárnout. Se svým typickým smyslem pro humor a věcným vypravěčstvím vylíčí vše a nevynechá jediný detail (pokud ho nezapomněla).

Sbírka esejů od milované hvězdy seriálů Gilmorova děvčata a Rodičovství o životě, lásce a ženě z Hollywoodu, doplněná historkami z natáčení Gilmorových děvčat. Lauren Graham se pokouší na chvíli zastavit a ohlíží se za svým životem, sdílí s námi úsměvné historky z dospívání, když začínala kariéru herečky, až po dobu, kdy seděla ve svém přívěsu a koukala na trailer k seriálu Rodičovství a kdy se sama sebe ptala: „Líbí se to někomu?“ Otevřeně mluví o tom, jaké je to být single ve světě Hollywoodu („Nikdo nechápal, že jsem pořád sama.“) nebo o zkušenosti porotce v projektu Project Runway ("Je to, jako kdybych zažila totální módní blackout.“) V eseji "Jaké to bylo, první část" nás autorka vezme na procházku světem Gilmorových děvčat a především do světa „své“ Lorelai Gilmore. Esej "Jaké to bylo, část druhá" odhaluje, jaké to bylo, když se o devět let později k roli vrátila a co to pro ni znamenalo.
