What a journey! I found out about this audiobook from a bookstagram friend who posted about their thoughts on the book. I knew of Leslie Jones from SNL but not much else, and boy did she take us on a journey in this audiobook!! The audiobook is much longer than the print book, which Jones herself acknowledges in the audiobook. This is because she speaks from the heart while using the book as a guide on which part of her life to discuss next. From her childhood traumas to her days on set of Ghostbusters, Leslie Jones is a fierce comedian and woman who fights for herself. Definitely laughed out loud in the car as I listened to it on my commute to and from work.

This is unlike any other memoir I've ever listened to. There are so many ad libs and so much sincerity. She goes on tangents and cracks herself up and chokes herself up being vulnerable. It's not just her triumphs, but her mistakes, and even some really kind of dark confessions behind which  you can tell there's a lot of shame and remorse. I loved this, and it's likely a totally different experience from reading in print.
