From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon, comedian Tina Fey reveals all, and proves that you're no one until someone calls you bossy.

Witty, wry, and sizzling

5 stars

Tina Fey's a huge personality and one of those social icons almost everyone has at least heard of, so diving into her perception of herself, and the world she inhabits, is fascinating in the extreme. She's led an interesting life in the arts, interacting with intersections of bizarre and brilliant people, as well as terrible and polished people. She highlights moments from her life with scathing, witty humor that speaks to her experience as a professional SNL comedian, but her wit is frequently turned inwards, and this ability to poke fun at herself makes her at-once relatable and likable. I don't always agree with her views in life, but I sure appreciate her opinions.
