So Close to Being the Sh*t, Y’all Don’t Even Know by Retta
5 stars
***Audio***

My husband and I just finished binge watching Parks and Rec and Donna, Retta's character, was hilarious.

This book was a delightful surprise! I wasn't expecting much and was delighted to learn more about Retta. I never would have guessed that she attended Duke with aspirations of being a Neurosurgeon.

The book is more of a compilation of essays and I really enjoyed it all. I think my favorite was about Hamilton. She had such passion when she was talking about it that I actually teared up, part of what pushed this to being 5 stars for me.

this book isn't going to be for everyone. It was great as audio and I think she did a really great job. My rating is always impacted by whether it sounds like the person is reading or not. She does not. She sounds like she is telling the stories.

She sounded interesting dynamic and like someone who could be my new BFF. I really enjoyed it and listened to it in one sitting.

I read this last month and also thoroughly enjoyed it as one of the better memoirs I've read/ listened. She is just so positive! She would be great fun to be friends with.

Treat yo self!! Love LOVE Parks and Rec, did you watch the reunion show last week? Leslie Knope would definitely have a binder on how to respond to Coronavirus!

Added this to my TBR, unfortunately my library doesn't have the audiobook at all. Will debate whether I should wait for the audio format or just try and get an ebook copy.

I did watch the reunion! It was so good! I love that they even had Jamm, Perd, and Joan!

I was lucky that my library had the audio version.
