NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From Academy Award winner and bestselling author Diane Keaton comes a candid, hilarious, and deeply affecting look at beauty, aging, and the importance of staying true to yourselfâ€”no matter what anyone else thinks.
Â
Diane Keaton has spent a lifetime coloring outside the lines of the conventional notion of beauty. In Letâ€™s Just Say It Wasnâ€™t Pretty, she shares the wisdom sheâ€™s accumulated through the years as a mother, daughter, actress, artist, and international style icon. This is a book only Diane Keaton could writeâ€”a smart and funny chronicle of the ups and downs of living and working in a world obsessed with beauty.
Â
In her one-of-a-kind voice, Keaton offers up a message of empowerment for anyone whoâ€™s ever dreamed of kicking back against the â€œshouldâ€s and â€œsupposed toâ€s that undermine our pursuit of beauty in all its forms. From a mortifying encounter with a makeup artist who tells her she needs to get her eyes fixed to an awkward excursion to Victoriaâ€™s Secret with her teenage daughter, Keaton shares funny and not-so-funny moments from her life in and out of the public eye.
Â
For Diane Keaton, being beautiful starts with being true to who you are, and in this book she also offers self-knowing commentary on the bold personal choices sheâ€™s made through the years: the wide-brimmed hats, outrageous shoes, and all-weather turtlenecks that have made her an inspiration to anyone who cherishes truly individual styleâ€”and catnip to paparazzi worldwide. She recounts her experiences with the many men in her lifeâ€”including Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, and Sam Shepardâ€”shows how our ideals of beauty change as we age, and explains why a life well lived may be the most beautiful thing of all.
Â
Wryly observant and as fiercely original as Diane Keaton herself, Letâ€™s Just Say It Wasnâ€™t Pretty is a head-turner of a book that holds up a mirror to our beauty obsessionsâ€”and encourages us to like what we see.
