Here's the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding… di Maureen McCormick

More interesting than what I thought it would be. The beginning was a little slow but it does speed up, pun intended! Apparently. Maureen was/is very different than Marcia. The book details her journey to separate the two and the issues that comes up with that. Mental illness and drug addiction plays a part. Of course, there is a lot of celebrity name dropping but they are part of her story.

Here's the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding… di Maureen McCormick

This book was bit bland. The lack of dirty details really leaves the reader unable to believe in "Marsha Brady's" downfall... Though McCormick's complete honesty and openness about her current family situation was refreshing. And, her outlook at 50 is motivating and wonderful.

Here's the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding… di Maureen McCormick

Did you know that September 26, 2019 was the 50th anniversary of the airing of the first episode of The Brady Bunch? In honor of that, I plumbed Maureen McCormick’s Here’s the Story from the depths of my TBR shelf to read.BradyBunchtitle

As you probably know, Maureen played Marcia Brady on The Brady Bunch. She will be forever associated with that iconic role. The book starts before she was born, with the marriage of her mother and father. It goes up through to her time on Celebrity Fit Club in 2007, which was right before this book was published.

The main thing I learned about Maureen is that she did a lot of cocaine. Like A LOT. It actually gets kind of repetitive, reading about this one time she was super high on coke and this other time she was super high on coke, etc. However, I admire her candidness. She is not afraid to share the mistakes that she’s made and there were other major ones besides her drug abuse. I was also surprised at how screwed up her family is. Her brother basically kidnapped and brainwashed their elderly father. That was quite a saga that had me feeling angry and sad on her behalf.

Maureen doesn’t go into too much detail about her time on The Brady Bunch. There are a few anecdotes but it’s more of a recitation of the timeline. I imagine that was because she can’t remember much of it being that she was so young and it was such a long time ago.

I think this book will appeal to those of us who grew up watching The Brady Bunch (I watched reruns of it after school) and have a certain nostalgia for it. If you didn’t, I don’t think this book will interest you that much.… (altro)

Here's the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and… di Maureen McCormick

Maureen McCormick is my favorite Brady Bunch member and I applaud her telling her story in such a candid way. But OMG, what a depressing story! I know she's found her way and is hopeful but I struggled through the book. I agree with other reviewers: she doesn't say much about her Brady Bunch experience or go into much detail about other acting experiences, but focuses instead on her struggles with addiction and mental health. The book is well written; I'm sure she speaks for many child stars.
