“It felt like I was speeding on the Autobahn toward hell, trapped inside a DeLorean with no brakes. And even if I could somehow stop, I’d still be screwed, because there’s no way I’d ever be able to figure out how to open those insane, cocaine-designed doors.”
The two-time Emmy Award-winning actress has written her first book, a surprisingly raw and triumphant memoir that is outrageous, moving, sweet, tragic, and heartbreakingly honest. GUTS is a true triumph—a memoir that manages to be as frank and revealing as Augusten Burroughs, yet as hilarious and witty as David Sedaris.
With GUTS, Johnston takes us on a journey so truthful and relatable, so remarkably fresh, it promises to stay with the reader for a long, long time.

— George C. Wolfe, director and writer“Guts is the opposite of the usual ‘celebrity tell-all’—It’s actually a captivating, laugh-out- loud, totally vulnerable and excellently crafted book.”
— Andy Cohen, VP of programming and host at Bravo“There’s not a dull moment in Guts. I literally couldn’t put it down, and read the whole thing in one sitting.”
— Amy Sedaris, actress“What a beautiful, ballsy, elegant and horrifying book. It completely articulates the mortifications and revelations of an addict’s mind. So funny & frightening, I couldn’t bear to stop reading it. Clearly Ms. Johnston is a great writer.”
