Mean Baby is a memoir to remember.

Red Wine Reads

This goes into our top 10 memoirs. When you read a really good memoir, though your life may not reflect the one you’re reading about, you still relate to the author on some level. Selma Blair wrote a magical memoir that we think will go down in history and stamp her mark in the history books for years and decades to come.

This week, we read Mean Baby by Selma Blair.

Ella Kopeikin, lover of L.A. and really good storytelling, joins me today to talk about a memoir that both broke us and gave us hope for the future.

In this episode we cover:

• Why Selma Blair is an absolute bada**
• Why Ella and I would also bite people in high-stress social situations.
• Why we both love and hate Selma’s mother
