I haven't actually read her book but I've seen her interviews and she talks about how like there was a lot that she felt ashamed to say while her mom was still alive because it's like obviously like like I still love my mom and stuff and like there I don't want to you know like if I told the truth like it would be crazy you know what I mean but it's so frustrating to be in a text thread with only me and try to convince me that I'm making things up.

Trisha suggested that Tana should write a book similar to Kathy Griffin's, where she goes through an A to Z of celebrity encounters and shares stories about them. Trisha thought this would be a good idea and that Tana could use it to share experiences.

She does you would say Kathy Griffin has this book where it's literally an A to Z celebrity encounter dictionary like straight up like each chapter is a letter so like chapter T she writes all about her encounters with Taylor Swift and like all about and it's such you could do some shit like that that would be so crazy.
