“Girl, you don’t need make up.”

56. The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo – Amy Schumer

I have to say, I really liked Amy’s show and this book more than I like her stand up. Her show was just awesomely clever. Her stand up seems to have an edge to it like she wants to be who she is, but she’s intimidated by who she has projected at the same time and doesn’t want that to get through. The book though, it reads much more realistically for the most part.

There’s a lot more vulnerability in her book than I expected and that is what’s missing from most of the living celebrity books I’ve read. So many of them just skip over anything difficult like “Well, I got through it, so whatever” instead of realizing that’s where the story is. Amy Schumer didn’t do that as much. There’s a lot of difficulty that I respect her for discussing and some parts that maybe didn’t need to be there, and that seems as much like a life metaphor as anything else so it’s totally fine.
