Managing Expectations

"We have all been charmed by Minnie Driver on the screen, but it’s a divine pleasure to learn the woman behind some of our most beloved characters is a writer of true precision, wit and style who has had a life more compelling than any movie. This book will be a companion to those struggling to make sense of their own story and a clarion call to mothers (of all kinds) grappling with their identity. I was comforted, galvanized, touched and - no surprise considering the author - charmed, too. — Lena Dunham
"Sharp observations and quirky irreverence make for a delightful read." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“To reveal oneself in a manner that is at once poignant and fiercely intelligent while also being funny, warm, and genuine, is quite a feat. Minnie Driver shows us she is even more than what’s met the eye all these years. Simply put: I love this book!” — Therese Ann Fowler, author of A Good Neighborhood and  Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald
“Actor Driver parlays her ebullient charm from the screen to the page in this sparkling debut, a series of amusing essays on Hollywood, motherhood, and the vicissitudes of life… Humorous and heartfelt, this is sure to please fans.” — Publishers Weekly
"Completely captivating.” — Lily King, award-winning and bestselling author of Writers & Lovers and Euphoria
“[Managing Expectations] reflects an actor’s close attention to strange, exasperating, heartbreaking behavior all around her, conveyed with wit and poise.” — USA Today
