But Enough About Me

Jancee Dunn grew up a simple Jersey girl with high ambitions of being a writer for Rolling Stone magazine and meeting tons of famous people. Jancee Dunn grew up to write for Rolling Stone magazine and meet tons of famous people.

Jancee grew up with two younger sisters, a mother from Alabama and a father who idolized the founder of J.C. Penney’s. Jancee worked as a veejay for MTV2, a correspondent for Good Morning America and wrote for numerous publications over the years such as the New York Times and Vanity Fair. She is an ordinary person who happens to have a career interacting with extraordinary celebrities.

BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME is captivating in that voyeuristic way. She never paints herself to be a victim of her decisions; rather she just lets the life lessons talk for themselves as she describes her attempt to live the party scene in NYC and the consequences she had to face as she aged.

The chapters are bite-sized and alternate between her experiences as a journalist and her personal journey through her changing lifestyle. Jancee Dunn throws in a lot of details about famous people that she had the experience of meeting and sheds new light on the life of a journalist who must ask those questions that celebrities never want to answer. She also takes the reader through her nerve-induced bouts of the hives when she first began working for MTV2 which proves that all those people on television aren’t as confident and composed as they want the audience to believe.

Jancee Dunn wrote a somewhat “coming-of-age” tale about herself and this reviewer enjoyed every word of it!
