Anna Kendrick Dishes About Dating Mistakes and More Revelations from Her New Book

Pinterest If there’s one thing we’ve grown to love about Anna Kendrick — perhaps even more than her acting talent and killer soprano — it’s her self-deprecating, charmingly caustic sense of humor, which she showcases very well on social media and in her new book, Scrappy Little Nobody. From her random musings on pop culture, to her sarcasm, to smart and only semi-shameless self-promotion, Kendrick is, to her 13.5 million followers (and likely book readers), everyone’s favorite sassy BFF. In Nobody, which is a collection of first-person essays, Kendrick is at her most relatable when she reveals she too endured the universal pain of: obsessing over the wrong kind of guy, struggling to pay rent and trying to be “cool” around celebrities.

Kendrick gives good PSA In her “Guys in LA” chapter, from which the above tales of liking the wrong guys also comes, Kendrick ends a story about fighting against gender stereotypes and misogyny with a killer PSA about protecting yourself from red flag-type behavior: “Ladies, if you ever date a guy who shows up at your apartment uninvited, or calls you from someone else’s phone when you block his number, or inspires you to attach a little can of Mace to your key ring, tell your friends!” she advises. “They will help you!

She gave up on being nice and embraces her inner “surly bitch” Kendrick writes that she has given up on being nice in favor of putting more focus and value on other qualities like passion, intelligence, humor, practicality. “As Sondheim said, ‘Nice is different than good,’ ” she writes, adding that she doesn’t put stock in […]
