"Witty, candid.... An honest, detailed account of one man pursuing his dreams."--Entertainment Weekly "Charming."--USA Today "From Omaha to Broadway, this funny, big-hearted book follows a boy just crazy enough with ambition and love to bend the world to his dreams. Andrew Rannells has written a wise and moving story about struggle and success, the intoxication of the stage and the home that, if we're very lucky, we can make for ourselves in art."--Garth Greenwell, author of What Belongs to You "This remarkable book, which straddles the line between brutal honesty and wild humor and sticks the landing every time, transcends entertainment memoir and tells a story of becoming--painful, pure, and true. Andrew Rannells is a singer and an actor and a dancer, and guess what? It turns out he's a writer."--Lena Dunham, author of Not That Kind of Girl "Raw and sweet and real and laugh-out-loud funny, Too Much Is Not Enough is destined to be required reading for anyone trying to make it through the highs and lows of chasing a dream."--Jessi Klein, author of You'll Grow Out of It "Andrew's coming-of-age, coming-of-fame story is hilarious, touching, and relatable. I devoured it in a day and I already can't wait to read his next book!"--Andy Cohen, author of Most Talkative "Hilarious and heartbreaking, Too Much Is Not Enough is a joyous, generous road map to charting our own path from a place where we feel completely alone to the place where we make sense to ourselves. Andrew Rannells nails the triumph, the turmoil, and the absolute necessity of following your gut--especially when it scares you."--Dave Holmes, author of Party of One "[A] spirited debut saturated with personality and frank humor.... [Rannells] is a natural raconteur who engages readers with self-effacing honesty about his life's great expectations and fumbles.... An inspiring and consistently witty entertainment memoir."--Kirkus Reviews "Fueling his prose with pop-culture references, [Rannells] verbalizes feelings of insecurity with shocking poise as he describes being left adrift in a new city....This is certain to resonate with all those brave enough to leave their comfort zones in pursuit of their dreams, and it is clear Rannells still has more stories yet to tell."--Booklist "Funny and charming...a must-read for both theater geeks and newbies alike."--Hello Giggles "[Rannells is] as personal as possible in each chapter, in the style of his friend and Girls creator Lena Dunham....[An] unguarded book."--Vanity Fair
