I’ve never really watched rosanne outside of the reruns my mom sometimes watched as an occasional background noise of my childhood. So I’m not sure what possessed me to pick this up but I was quickly thankful I did. Jenny Pentland has a knack for storytelling, and presenting said stories with an impressively comedic flair considering most of which were otherwise incredibly sad.
Unfortunately the last few chapters were a little less exciting for me but honestly, good for her because I the most entertaining parts of the book must have been fxcking hell to live through, so I’m glad things calmed down for at least to some degree.

I listened to This Will Be Funny Later: A Memoir by Jenny Pentland – Pentland is the daughter of Roseanne Barr. “In this scathingly funny and moving memoir, Pentland reveals what it's like to grow up as the daughter of a television star and how she navigated the turmoil, eventually finding her own path.” This is a fascinating, funny and tough behind the scenes look at the Hollywood industry and what it's like to catapult to fame and how that impacts a family. I loved that Pentland read it herself.

I couldn’t finish, it had a few funny parts, but just wasn’t enough of a story to keep me reading
