funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted reflective sad fast-paced

3.5

This was a silly little book that I listened to over a couple of days while doing chores. I was most interested in the sections about her struggles with mental illness/OCD, sexism in comedy, and the heartbreak and joy of bringing a baby into the world while her best friend died of COVID-19. Despite those serious topics, it was a quick, raunchy, overall silly read. ++ points for goofy childhood poetry.
