Tinaca Jones
Tinaca Jones | Retta, Matt Boren, Stephanie Lemelin

Audible Exclusive.
The epic and high-larious deposition of Tinaca Jones (performed by Parks and Recreation and Good Girls star Retta) as she details the theft of her beloved namesake by fame-seeking missile Kelly Smith and her arduous journey to expose Smith for the impostor she is.
What’s in a name? The name Tinaca, for example, has been passed down in the Jones family for generations of women. In fact, the Joneses name a Tinaca every other generation, to let the name breathe a little. To let each Tinaca shine.
And shine is exactly what Tinaca Jones intends to do. A grocery cashier by day and an empire in the making by night, Tinaca Jones has been busy paying her dues, saving coins, and taking business and marketing classes, readying to launch her lifestyle brand for anyone who wants to live like her - that is, intentionally, and fabulously. But when a basic blonde with an even more basic name (Kelly Smith) approaches her register and peeps her nametag, Tinaca’s plans come crashing down all around her....
The next thing Tinaca knows, this basic b has launched herself into overnight fame with a pathetic, old-as-time, red-carpet stunt, using the stage name Tinaca Jones. But Kelly Smith messed with the wrong woman.
What follows is the real Tinaca Jones’ wild and triumphant account of the battle to reclaim her name by any means necessary.
PLEASE NOTE: This content is not for kids. This audio comedy features adult language (hurled especially at one malicious phony Kelly Smith). Discretion is advised.

Hey girl hey, if you need a break from the heavy stuff, the news or even from social media, this is the book fir you!
Can you imagine someone stealing your name?! Me either and that was the biggest draw for me. I listened on Audible & my coworkers wanted to listen based on my reactions, verbal and nonverbal.
For real, it's a good listen about how we live and will leave you smiling.

This is a short Audible original. In spite of the great narration by Retta, I almost put this one down early on. But, I‘m glad I stayed. The plot became funnier, Tinaca became more sympathetic and savvier and there were some clever plot twists for a short read by the HEA end.

This was definitely a much needed funny read! I'm a huge Retta fan from Parks and Rec, and this just felt like a gift. My only complaint with the book, which is probably due to the fact that it's written by a white male, is that the subject of race isn't addressed... like at all. But Retta is so effing fabulous and entertaining and revenge-y that I'm recommending this one!

No rating. I just listened to support Retta.
Conflicted about why the author chose to tell this particular tale, but shrug, I'll just add it to my list of questions that need answers.

The story is a little funny, a little over the top, but got me through the hellish first two hours of work at a Friday. I didn‘t adore it and saw some good reviews on Audible criticizing the way a white man wrote AAVE, which I think is worth keeping in mind when considering this book. For the Read in a Day #Booked2020 prompt. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Not even Retta could save this mess. Google the top 100 pop culture references, throw in a lot of swearing and a weak identity theft plot and that‘s Tinaca Jones.

I wanted to like this more than I did. I love Retta, and her narration was good, just didn‘t care for the story.
