Amy Schumer, Emmy Award-winning comedian, actress, writer, and star, mines her past for stories about her teenage years, her family, relationship, and sex, and shares the experiences that have shaped who she is--a woman with the courage to bare her soul and stand up for what she believes in, all while making us laugh. Ranging from the raucous to the romantic, the heartfelt to the harrowing, this highly entertaining and universally appealing collection is the literary equivalent of a night out with your best friend -- an unforgettable and fun adventure you wish could last forever. --
Amy is Frank. A fun book to read. Kept my interest.
At her young age, the way she handles her dad who has lost his bladder control is something I admire. Her super friendly relationship with her siblings is goals. It hardly have as much fun with siblings.
Of course there were things that I could not relate at all.(Her blackouts especially)
Overall interesting read.
Calling this one a DNF. After about two hours of listening, I didn't find anything to hold my attention or that made the author sympathetic or particularly likable. I enjoy her show and stand up to varying degrees so I'll stick with that. I feel sort of assholish writing this about stories someone is telling about their life but after listening to her humble brag about giving away specific amounts of money to specific people or types of people, I was turned off.
Everything a collection of personal essays by a comedian should be: Revealing, hilarious, and ultimately, inspiring.
