Welcome to Litsy!

Home from vacation, time to catch up on some reviews.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Iliza. I always enjoy her content.

Says nostalgia is boring, then engages in her own nostalgia (and it‘s boring 🤨)

I decided to give this a chance despite books by celebrities not being my usual thing.

It started less funny and engaging than I expected but fortunately improved later. A quick and pretty fun book, even if it reads more angry than her stand-ups. Still, since it‘s read by the author who knows how to deliver her own jokes, the audiobook recommended.

3.5/5

As I‘ve said in other reviews, autobiographies aren‘t my preferred genre. That being said this book was ok but didn‘t stand out for me. I‘ve heard Iliza‘s sets before but, for me, it didn‘t translate into the page and while it was relatable it felt like a long rant.

I love iliza‘s podcast and her standup shows. I have seen her twice in person. I thought this book was true to Iliza‘s brand. I thought some tales were hilarious and relatable, and some missed the mark (for me). I highly recommend the audiobook (read by her) to enjoy the experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you‘re familiar with Shlesinger‘s standup, you‘ll understand this book, her delivery, funny voices, incredible arguments, and beautiful feminism. If not, then I don‘t think you‘ll enjoy this quite as much. She broaches some sensitive topics here, always with a humorous spin.

PS. Some of this material appears in her newest Netflix special. It‘s a good set, but her outfit was very distracting. #iykyk
