Publisher's Summary

Before Liz Lemon, before "Weekend Update", before "Sarah Palin", Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV.

She has seen both of those dreams come true.

At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. 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 - from the beginning of this paragraph to this final sentence.

Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've all suspected: you're no one until someone calls you bossy.

Includes special, never-before-solicited opinions on breastfeeding, princesses, Photoshop, the electoral process, and Italian rum cake!

What the critics say

"I hope that's not really the cover. That's really going to hurt sales." (Don Fey, Father of Tina Fey)
"Do not print this glowing recommendation of Tina Fey's book until I've been dead a hundred years." (Mark Twain)
"Hilarious and insightful. Laugh-out-loud funny - oh no, a full moon. No! Arrgh! Get away from me! Save yourself!" (A Guy Turning into a Werewolf)

Just Enjoyable

It didn't feel like the story quite flowed well. May be better to read for yourself. Still some very funny parts.

I’m a Tina Fey fan…

… and am surprised not to have enjoyed this book. Turns out too much comedy/snark is as exhausting as too much drama. If I had it to do over, I’d probably still buy it but listen to it in very short segments.

Not for me

I love a light hearted funny book but this wasn’t for me. Found myself counting down the minutes until it was over. Felt cringey and lacked depth

Couldn't get into it

I love her shows, love her characters, but this book fell flat for me. She's one of the funniest people in her business, but for some reason her stories weren't relatable. I was hoping for more.

One of my all time faves

Tina’s writing is absolutely hilarious and having her read the story is just the cherry on top.
