by Megan Mullally & Nick Offerman
Dutton, 2018, 273 pages, Nonfiction
Some celebrity couples are major “relationship goals”, and Nick Offerman and Megan Mullaly seem to be one of these. In their new book, they share their life stories, tell about their courtship, and share insights they’ve garnered in their 18+ years of making love last. The book is written in a conversational style and most chapters are formatted like a script, which makes it a quick read that brings you intimately into the discussion and makes it feel like you're sitting down to chat with a pair of old pals- who happen to be really famous.
I’ll admit I wanted more from this book. I wanted the pair to reveal all the secrets to achieving an ideal relationship, built on laughter and a shared love of character acting and puzzles. While entertaining, this book felt less like a story of their love, and more like a very selective biography of each of their pasts and careers, with little quips about their lives together mixed in for good measure. None the less, it’s a must read for fans of either, or both, of these beloved actors. The audiobook is especially enjoyable as it is read by the authors and is filled with giggles and asides that charm and warm the heart, and some that would cause even a sailor to blush.
