As a 30 year old who still has yet to reach most of the markers of adulthood, this was a really refreshing read. Funny, honest, and thoughtful memoir.

Nice quick read. I think I enjoyed her childhood stories the most, but I also liked learning about her rise to fame. I don't watch "Glee", but I have seen Jane Lynch in films and think she is fab! She can be such a scene stealer. I wish she had talked more about her experiences making the Christopher Guest films. How interesting she first met him doing an add for Frosted Flakes. The story tended to drag a bit towards the end, but it was nice to read about her finding love and happiness. Her success is very deserving.

This is a very real memoir, rather than a collection of funny things that happen in Jane Lynch's life. She chronicles difficulties in her life as well as all the happy accidents that got her where she is today.This is a very good read that goes fairly quickly and is surprisingly uplifting given some of the struggles Lynch faces in the beginning. An honest and frank memoir, this book ironically meshes hope and optimism alongside cynicism and humor.

Celebrity memoirs are my guilty pleasure reading and this one fits the bill nicely. Jane Lynch had written before and it shows. I especially liked the parts where she talked about specific projects she worked on, like the Christopher Guest movies and Glee (even though I don't really watch Glee). This is a nice diversion.

Starts off nice, falls off a cliff somewhere in the middle. Can't force myself to finish.

“That was the most offensive thing I've seen in 20 years of teaching — and that includes an elementary school production of Hair.”
God bless Jane Lynch.
I really just needed a nice, funny and heartwarming story to read. Jane's story really gave me that and I'm happy I read it.
Jane Lynch is an inspirational person, incredibly funny and such a talented woman. Reading about her life was awesome.

I was very impressed with this book. I've seen Jane Lynch in things and I watched a couple seasons of Glee, but I didn't know much about her. I could relate to a lot of aspects of her personality and I love reading people's "journeys to fame."

A fun biography that doesn't really dish much, but makes me wish I were friends with Jane Lynch. Reading about her meeting and falling in love with her wife makes me sad that they recently announced they were getting divorced.

Not surprisingly, this is a funny book! It was really interesting to learn about Jane Lynch's early career. I didn't enjoy the overview of her recent life as much - in a weird way, it made me cringe. She lost the distance from her life and it felt a little too personal from The 40-Year-Old Virgin on.
The Madame Tussaud's scene is hilarious!
I like Lynch even more after reading this book.
