Oh look, Olaf is writing! Josh Gad tells some of his story in his memoir In Gad We Trust: A Tell-Some. Quite simply, it's good! I had fun, learned some backstage gossip, and got a little smarter about how long it can't take to put on a Broadway show. And like a Broadway show, this book is so professionally put together to the point it might be a bit too slick.
Gad tells his story from his childhood to the present day. For the most part, the book is chronological, with one major exception that feels completely misplaced. The writing is funny and sharp, but you do get the feeling that the rough edges have been sanded down. There are allusions Gad makes to a significant ego, but he never tells a story that truly makes him look bad. This is his memoir and that's his prerogative. It feels safe, though.
This book doesn't reach the heights of I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy or Sure, I'll Join Your Cult by Maria Bamford. Those memoirs were no holds barred, and you felt like something daring was on the page. While Gad doesn't reveal nearly as much (I mean, he does call it a "tell-some"), I would still say it's an enjoyable read.

I adored getting to know Josh Gad. I love a Hollywood behind the scenes memoir and always learn so much about humanity along the way. I was reminded of Josh’s amazing career and enjoyed the telling of his stories.

This was a fun and entertaining read. I'm a fan of Gad's but didn't know much about him and I learned a lot from this read. He did a great job of balancing funny with life lessons and heartfelt moments. A must read!

I Love Josh Gad and the fact that I was able to read his book was a highlight of my year! This is a wonderful book. If you love the voice of Olaf like I love the voice of Olaf than you will love this book!

I've only ever know Josh Gad's work in Book of Mormon and Disney-related projects, so I was gratified to learn about his more serious work. He's been through some shit, which isn't his fault, and he's done a lot of work to get past it (and to turn himself into a true double-and-a-quarter threat—he can sort of dance, if he has to). And he's so gosh-darned charismatic that I wouldn't be surprised if Generalized Anxiety Disorder rebrands itself as "Gad"!
