Bossypants by Tina Fey
Sharp, Hilarious, and Unforgettable: A Collection of Autobiographical Essays from Tina Fey
From the Emmy Award-winning actress and comedy writer behind 30 Rock, Mean Girls, and Saturday Night Live comes a collection of laugh-out-loud essays that the Sunday Telegraph calls “a masterpiece.”
Description
Before she was Liz Lemon or the voice of “Sarah Palin,” Tina Fey was just a regular girl, plagued by recurring stress dreams of being chased through an airport by her middle-school gym teacher—and with a dream to someday be a comedian on TV. Both dreams, as it turns out, came true.
At last, Tina Fey opens up about her journey: from her awkward, nerdy childhood to her years on Saturday Night Live; from half-hearted attempts at physical beauty to life as a mom eating things off the floor; from unrequited college love to a near-disastrous honeymoon. With her signature wit and humor, Fey takes readers through her most personal and hilarious experiences, revealing what we’ve all suspected: you’re not really anyone until someone calls you “bossy.”
This collection also includes her never-before-solicited opinions on everything from breastfeeding and princesses to Photoshop, the electoral process, and Italian rum cake. Prepare for a hilarious, candid, and utterly unique look at the woman behind the comedy.
George Russell –
Its so fun. You feel like you’re on a long car trip with an incredibly funny, curious, observant, smart, talented person who also has good boundaries. The feminist content is unapologetic, spot-on, and you get the sense that succeeding and writing all those men up is the best revenge. Loved it.

Absolutely my favorite book. Have read it several times and keep it in my nightstand for whenever I want to pick it up.
