Fey, T. (2013). Bossypants. New York: Regan Arthur/Little Brown.
Tina Fey's humor saturated memoir tells anecdotes from various stages and years of her life. She tells of her childhood and when she was introduced to acting. She tells of moving to Chicago after college, where she joined Second City, and there she honed in on her comedy skills and also met her husband, Jeff. The memoir also describes her time with Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock. Fey also tells about weight gain, wait loss, being a mom, and responds to her critics.
This book had me literally laughing out loud at times. Fey's humor drenches this whole book. This book is definitely geared toward the older years of the young adult spectrum, hence it being found on YALSA's Outsanding books for college bound (2014 Arts adn Humanities). Themes found throughout the memoir include sexism and body image. Other books reader's may find similarly entertaining might be Amy Poehler's Yes Please, Mindy Kaling's Is Everyone Hanging out Without Me? (And Other Concerns), and Ellen DeGeneres' Seriously...I'm Kidding.
