Bossypants

"Such a great read! "

"My husband got me this book years ago and I sat on it forever. But suddenly I saw it as “available now” as an audiobook through my library and I grabbed it and I don’t know why I didn’t read it straight up all those years back! I don’t know what it is about comedian memoirs, but they are the most charming and full of interesting warts, they’re just great."

"Read it a long time ago and I remember that it made me laugh. "

"I absolutely LOVED this book! Fey always comes across as someone you just want to have a coffee with and bitch about the world. "

"Tina Fey has my heart and soul. You can really hear her voice in this book and getting to read about her experiences felt like watching a marathon of 30Rock which was great. I loved getting to see how many snippets from her real life she inserted into her show."

"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣"

"Just as she is, her book does not disappoint. "

"So Tina fey is an amazing comedian and listening to her tell stories about her childhood and her improv comedy roots and how she got a job on SNL is amazing. She's hilarious because she is real and honest. she doesn't BS. Specifically my favorite chapter has to be things I've learned from Lorne Michaels. Her story about giving constructive criticism to Sylvester Stallone about his annunciation was hilarious! When she talks about her SNL years and how she feared that 30 rock was going to end after the first season. It shows you that people in show business have real fears about life not going according to plan. I loved this book because it's so fun to listen to a personal perspective of an SNL cast member from the golden years!! when women took over the show and dominated it, she was there watching it all happen. I think it's great how tenacious she is!!"

"I LOVE “where the crawdads sing” "

"I enjoyed Bossypants by sporadically reading along while listening to the audiobook -- which let me say: I wish Tina Fey would read for other audiobooks! <br/><br/>Hilarious autobio that touches upon the highs and lows of Tina Fey's life and career. <br/><br/>Bossypants is not an in depth, gut-wrenching tell-all memoir; it reads more like a personal story/essay where Fey reminisces and reflects on life moments chapter by chapter. Each chapter is packed with Fey's wit, charm, and and spunky brand of feminism:<br/><br/>“Ever since I became an executive producer of ’30 Rock,’ people have asked me … ‘Is it uncomfortable for you to be the person in charge?’ You know, in the same way they say, ‘Gosh, Mr. Trump, is it awkward for you to be the boss of all these people?”<br/><br/>What I liked most about Bossypants is how Fey is humorous and realistic in pointing out the contradictions that some women in the workplace can sometimes feel conflicted between business/professionalism vs. societal norms/pressures, for example: Fey discusses how she's irritated by the double standard of being asked about a being a successful boss and mother when no one thinks twice about successful fathers, but she still feels guilty at the time she’s spent working instead of with her daughter. <br/><br/>Bossypants touches on themes of: homosexuality, show business, women in the workplace, puberty, portal of women in media, motherhood and body image. <br/>"
