A warm and witty memoir by Danielle Fishel, the beloved star of the ’90s sitcom Boy Meets World and the eagerly anticipated spin-off, Girl Meets World.
Best known for playing Topanga Lawrence on Boy Meets World, Danielle Fishel was many a tween’s first crush and the quintessential girl-next-door for seven years as she joined 10 million viewers in their living rooms every Friday from 1993 to 2000. The real Danielle is just as entertaining and down-to-earth as the character she portrayed on her hit show. But even life for a successful actress can be messy, from disastrous auditions to dating mishaps and awkward red carpet moments.
Normally, This Would Be Cause for Concern is a fun romp through Danielle’s own imperfections and mild neuroses. It’s a book for anyone who, like Danielle, has ever tripped and fallen down a flight of stairs in a room full of people, had a romantic moment with their significant other that was ruined by horrendous gas, or taken a Halloween photo without realizing there was a huge chunk of chocolate-covered strawberry in their teeth. Here is the real, imperfect Danielle, who knows that a good sense of humor and a positive attitude makes life so much more enjoyable. Even when you’ve just face-planted in front of Ben Affleck.
police for you? ME: I already did, but thank you for asking. JARED: OK, I hope your day gets better. Then he rolled up his window and drove away. Jared Leto made me a forever fan that day. Who am I kidding? After falling in love with him as Jordan Catalano, I was already a forever fan, but it was still a very nice thing to do. After my car had been towed, my mom had come to pick me up so I could make it to the Boy Meets World set for work, and Rider Strong drove me home from work. That night,
man is around? A billion trillion times, right? For being fairly smart animals, humans are some of the dumbest around. We know that every single living thing poops and occasionally has gas, but we refuse to let anyone know that we are included in that every-living-thing category. Girls don’t poop, and neither did Tim. Well, he pooped, just not anywhere near me. Finally, I told him it was probably just gas and it would go away. He laughed and said I was probably right. A few minutes later, he
way look like a newborn baby’s diaper. Trying to put one on Spike—not cute. I’d try to put it on him, and he’d slam his butt to the ground and try to bite me. But what were my options? Live with a dog who had a constant stream of runny poo falling out of his leaky sphincter or make him wear a diaper? I opted to live with a dog who had a constant stream of runny poo falling out of his leaky sphincter. He refused to wear a diaper, and when I was finally able to get one on him, he wiggled out of it
didn’t stop there (there is an entire chapter here on the subject, friends). I’m pleased to introduce to you some of the most awkward years in anyone’s life: high school. The Boy Meets World filming schedule made it impossible for me to attend my regular high school full-time, but being as normal as possible—despite having one of the most unusual jobs ever—has always been important to my parents and me, so I went to “real” school as often as I could. I enjoyed my classes on the BMW set, but I
totally would have done if he had fallen), he was gone. I never met Mr. Affleck again. He probably wouldn’t remember me (please, oh please, tell me he doesn’t remember me), and that’s fine. I will forever remember him as the handsome man who rescued me at a party. I skipped the haunted house and went inside the party. I took my stupid fishnets off and cleaned up my bloody knee. I ate a few delicious chocolate-covered strawberries and took this now infamous photo. See that girl I’m with in the
