Not even going to lie, I thought this book would be a book that just aimed at jokes and being funny. I thought the book would be full of memes but instead, Ms. Quinta was delivering some good advice and some real-life everyday experiences.

I love Quinta so much as a comedian but this was not the best. It just didn’t flow well. Between her life stories and success. This felt like a chore to finish.

I decided to read this after learning about it in Quinta’s interview on Hot Ones. I enjoyed reading this book: the tone and writing style was very approachable throughout, no matter the topic of discussion. these essays focused more on her childhood, early career, and her time at Buzzfeed with not much discussion on her work after leaving the company—the book ends with an essay set during the pandemic. I would’ve liked to know more about A Black Lady Sketch Show and her time between leaving Buzzfeed and starting Abbott Elementary.

I really admire Quinta and this memoir had nuggets that I also related to.
