Misadventures In The Screen Trade by Alison Ripley Cubitt is a true-to-life, delightful, funny yet meaningful story about her journey in the TV and film industry doing many different jobs until finally embracing and focusing on what she enjoys most. Had Cubitt not experienced all these disappointments, she may not have found her true calling. Therefore, even the worst challenges led her to her true vocation; writing. Her story mesmerized me about my journey and where it could lead. Misadventures In The Screen Trade is a fresh, light-hearted, stimulating memoir that leaves readers inspired and introspective. It is well-written, well-researched, and pleasantly surprising as you get a more personable take on some of your favorite stars through Cubitt’s encounters.
