Happily Ever After: The Drew Barrymore Story

by Leah Furman, Elina Furman

Drew Barrymore was a star by the time she was seven years old, a drug addict by twelve, and a has - been before her sixteenth birthday. But with the resounding success of such recent films as Ever After: A Cinderella Story, The Wedding Singer, Never Been Kissed (produced by Drew's production company, Flower Films) and Charlie's Angels, Drew Barrymore has reclaimed her place as one of Hollywood's hottest young actors. Her inspirational comeback from a highly publicized battle with drug and alcohol addiction has left this former child star wiser, happier, and more triumphant then ever.

From her struggle to reenter Hollywood to her many acclaimed movies, from a strained relationship with her mother and a failed marriage to a newfound sense of peace and enduring love, HAPPILY EVER AFTER offers a fascinating look at the troubled Little Girl Lost and the beautiful woman she grew up to be!

Only worth reading for a very superficial overview of Drew’s life up through 2000. It was a very frustrating read for a Drew historian like me as it is chock full of errors and editorializing by the authors (who churned out a ton of these unauthorized bios of pop culture figures in the early 2000s).

Happily is not an authorized biography and is dated but it was still fun to read. Drew's life is put into perspective considering she was living life as an adult at 10 years old - the primary breadwinner in the family and hasn't stopped since. She's had her ups and downs and has kept going.

Read this because I found the book laying around somewhere but it was interesting to see how fast she grew up. I really like drew barrymore in general so I wanted to read it. It was good.
