The beloved actress presents “a delightful and refreshingly honest memoir about growing up Melissa/Clarissa/Sabrina” (Delia Ephron, New York Times–bestselling author of Left on Tenth).

Melissa Joan Hart explained it all—from dating to bullies—in her groundbreaking role as Clarissa Darling on Clarissa Explains It All. She cast a spell on millions as Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. Now, in Melissa Explains It All, she tells the frank and funny behind-the-scenes stories from her extraordinary past and her refreshingly normal present.

From her first commercial to her starring role in ABC Family’s hit Melissa and Joey, Hart never let fame go to her head. She always had one foot in Hollywood and one foot in reality, and still does. In this “very candid” memoir (Entertainment Weekly), she makes us laugh with true tales about:

—guest appearances in shows like Saturday Night Live and The Equalizer

—auditioning for Punky Brewster and Clarissa

—her early Broadway days

—wacky parties she’s thrown and attended

—the actors who influenced her and whom she befriended, worked with, and competed against

—her experiences both on and off set with Sabrina’s Salem the Cat and Elvis the Alligator on Clarissa

—how she met the love of her life at the Kentucky Derby

Melissa Joan Hart explains all that she’s learned along the way—what’s kept her grounded, normal, and working when others have not been so fortunate—and reveals that she’s the approachable, hilarious girl-next-door her fans have always thought she’d be.
