Summary of Busy Philipps's This Will Only Hurt a Little

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. #1 I have many defining stories, but the one that sums up who I am and why I am the way I am is that I have always seen myself as a Debbie Downer.

I am a performer, and I live to make sure everyone is happy and having a good time.#2 My mother's story is that I was a very stubborn child, and that my parents could never control me.

I was born in Oak Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.

My mother grew up in Oak Park, and her parents met there.#3 My mom always said I was like the toddler in the story, wandering around by myself in a diaper.

I aced out in my nudes. I was always getting into stuff and never stopping to think about the consequences.#4 I've always felt different than my family members.

I've always looked different, with blond hair and blue eyes, compared to my dark-haired parents and sister.

I've always felt left out.
