My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Hooked: How Crafting Saved My Life is a memoir by Sutton Foster. I went to see Sutton Foster's book launch in New York where she was interviewed by Amy Sherman-Palladino. It was like a dream come true. Bunheads was my introduction to Sutton. Insta-fan! I know, I know. I was way behind the curve on this one. Younger was a show that spoke to me (Gen-X) and my sister (elder millennial) in a way that most shows can't. I also might be the only person to buy a ticket to The Music Man to see Sutton Foster on Broadway with a side of Hugh Jackman.
Anyway, I was delighted that she decided to write a book. Even though my crafting is terrible, I can appreciate how important it is, especially, as a coping mechanism. And while I loved learning more about her life, I really enjoyed that she included recipes and crafting instructions so you can recreate things that are so special to her.
Bonus points for adoption. Coming from a family where we were all adopted, I can't thank Sutton enough for sharing her story of how she came to be Emily's mom.
Extra bonus points for Linus. It is a gift to know that kind of love.
