I haven't read/listened to many Autobiography books so I might not be the best person to review or rate this book, but I do . It was funny but not completely enjoyable and that was a disappointment for me as this was GoodReads choice on Humors of 2015, good thing it had enough pull that I didn't drop it and other than first quarter enjoyed it more or less.
My favorite part was her speech at Harvard. ...more

Liked this more than her first one! Maybe just because it focuses on a different time in her life, it felt more mature and self aware (read:enjoyably self-deprecating, at times). Plus it was funny as hell, of course.
Favorite essays were the last one, on why it's OK to be a workaholic, and the tell-all about doing onscreen love scenes, ha.
Ultra fast read. ...more

Short book to listen to while working on crocheting an afghan. Used this book for the category "A book written by a person of color" for my 2017 Reading Challenge.
