Bossypants

IS HILARIOUS. Tina Fey has done it again. I mean Mean Girls, then Baby Mama, and now this! The universe has finally given us a strong comedic female role model. Let the heavens rejoice.


The Jist: 
Here we have an inside look at Tina Fey. It is a biography of sorts, but it is by no means comprehensive. She shares funny stories from her childhood and her journey from the YMCA to SNL to 30 rock. One of my favorite quotes comes from the chapter, “What Turning Forty Means to Me." It just says this,
 
I need to take my pants off as soon as I get home. I didn't used to have to do that. But now I do.

Apparently Tina Fey and I have more in common than I realized. And I am thinking that I should probably be alarmed at this because I am only 22. If sweatpants are a staple at this young age what happens when I turn forty?

Pros:
Really funny. I laughed out loud several times.
She shares what it was like to act like Sarah Palin on SNL
She talks about Oprah. Did you know she was on 30 Rock?
HOW DOES SHE BALANCE EVERYTHING
She is kind of normal in a really famous kind of way

Cons:
A little language... but she is Tina Fey so it's funny. Am I justifying things??? Maybe a little. 

I deem this book, according to my own personal taste levels, awesome on all accounts. 4 stars! 4 stars!

  1. I love Bossypants so much! I got an autographed copy for my birthday and it's one of my most prized possessions. I cannot wait for 30 Rock to come back in January.
