I heard of Tig for the first time when I watched her Netflix special where she announces to the audience she has cancer and talks about her mom dying, all tragic but wrapped up in comedy. I was in awe of this strong, brave woman.
When I noticed she had a book out I was excited to know more about her, and this book did not disappoint. Tig, with her honesty and humor, shows what it is like to survive the unthinkable and continue to move forward in life. I really enjoyed this book!

I really liked this although as a fan of Tig I already knew the majority of it through stand-up routines, Professor Blastoff <3 and various documentaries. But, who am I to ask her to expose even MORE of herself?! Loved the parts about her family, and Ric especially.
#172. Having seen her comedy specials, and her series One Mississippi, the memoir didn't contain a lot of new information. But for anyone not familiar with her work, this could be a great introduction. Love her and her work.

Oh my God, Kyle, It's Santa Claus!
Firstly, this book wasn?t a boring, i'll-forget-about-it-in-a-week 3.0 stars type of book. I really liked reading it and am aware this wasn?t intended to be a masterpiece either.
While it does feel like a written stand-up number at times rather than a full-flushed story with funny jokes in it, it compensates with intelligent observations made by Tig. I loved those parts.
This book made me cry and laugh in equal parts, i think. Well, tomorrow it?s Tig's 53rd birthday and i have nothing but respect for her.
In ways that i can't explain this woman is Santa Claus to me.

I love Tig so much. Hearing her account of the worst year imaginable was tough but so worthwhile.

low rating only because i was expecting a laugh out loud comedy but instead this was a more traditional memoir. i love tig and am inspired by her story, but this felt like it was purely an oeuvre for her to process and heal, but not necessarily to entertain.
