Bossypants Book Review
I listened to it on audiobook. I adore Tina Fey and learning about her life and career made me adore her more! She wove in her humor with truth and transparency. You learn about her upbringing and her family. As a late 90s/early 2000s kid, I don’t know what life was like in the 70s for a kid. I can only read about it, but learning about Tina’s upbringing was a great window in to see. She makes the visuals come to life and I had a blast walking with her.
You learn how she got her scar and the regular teenage and college woes that a lot of people have gone through. I related to her so much with theatre and trying to find your way in the world. The aspirations and dreams that she had and her tenacity to go after them were great to learn.
She was real and honest about her shortcomings and where she wasn’t her best self. That was refreshing to hear. Sometimes, people can make themselves look and sound better than they actually were. Tina tells it like it is and why she thought the way she did and if she didn’t know, she made it very clear to the reader. She doesn’t make excuses for herself.
Learning about her start in comedy and SNL was a joy. I first saw her on SNL portraying Sarah Palin and I was hooked! From there I watched 30 Rock and I thought the show was fantastic. Her career was a hard road, which I think a lot of women could relate to, but she kept going. The explanation of her maturing throughout life that interwove comedy was *chef’s kiss*.
If it isn’t clear, I like comedy.
I adore Tina Fey and learning about her life and career made me adore her more! She wove in her humor with truth and transparency. I knew she was funny, but it was even clearer with her book. I think it’ll be a great read for fun and while you do household chores. You’ll laugh and relate to her in many ways 🙂
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(5/5 stars)
