While writing the script for her 2011 film *The Future*, Miranda July sought inspiration from the most unlikely of places: A weekly classified ads booklet.

*It Chooses You* includes a series of interviews the author conducted with people who placed ads for various items or services, along with short snippets concerning her writing process for *The Future* plus some autobiographical notes. The book also includes photographs by Brigitte Sire, who accompanied July for the interviews.

I initially wasn't blown away by the premise of this book but July won me over. Very different and sweet. Ended up loving this.

This was a fun, sad, and interesting read. Just what I needed to get out of my reading rut. I forget sometimes how cool it is to read a book about someone else's intense scope on their own life.
