I don’t know a lot about Gilda Ratner, the legendary SNL actress from the early days of the show, and I wanted to learn more, especially after reading Martin Short’s book which mentions her. This book is mostly a detailed account of her battle with ovarian cancer which is sad but she is honest and funny throughout. I’d love to read more about her time in comedy before becoming ill but still thought this was a great read (actually, a great listen and in her voice).

devastating dear lord she had so much life and energy and all i did was read about it i cannot imagine what it mustve been like to know her
This was not an easy book to read and is not for everyone, which is why I gave it three stars. This is purely about Radner's fight against ovarian cancer. There is no humor, just her candid account of her personal experiences. As Ranganathan's Laws of Library Science states, "Every book its reader," and this law definitely applies to this book.
A triumph and inspiring journey through one of America's finest comedians and her fight with ovarian cancer! Quite the tear jerker!
