As a lover of celebrity memoirs, it felt very meta to read a celebrity memoir written by a lover of celebrity memoirs. Actress of a Certain Age by Jeff Hiller is both a hilarious and heartwarming memoir that will have you laughing one moment and then crying the next moment, and then laughing because you are crying (as he and Bridget Everett’s characters often do in their TV show, Somebody Somewhere). Through a series of personal essays, Jeff tells a compelling tale of coming out, finding a balance of his religion and queer identiy, the hard work it takes to become an Actor (even when it feels like you are flailing) Jeff reminds us that success is not always linear, and even when we find success, it is not all sunshine and rainbows.

I thoroughly loved Actress of a Certain Age and I would reccomend it to anyone who loves a celebrity memoir or if you want to read 3 different stories about buttholes.

Thank you to Simon & Schuster for the opportunity to read this advanced reader copy and to Jeff for writing such a fun and memorable memoir.
