This Will Be Funny Someday by Katie Henry

5.0

This Will Be Funny Someday is a hilarious coming of age story about finding your voice and figuring out who you are. 16 year old Izzy feels like no one wants to listen to what she has to say, from her family to her classmates. The exception is her boyfriend Alex--but he's actually more controlling than caring. One day, in an effort to avoid running into Alex on the street, Izzy finds herself on stage at a stand-up open mic. Soon enough, she's out on the town with a new group of college friends (who think she's in college too), performing at venue after venue, while keeping the entire thing a secret from her family and boyfriend.

Somebody described this book to me as "YA Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," and I knew I had to read it. As a fan of the show, I'm very happy to report that this was an excellent comparison. I devoured this book, staying up until 2 am reading it and then opening it again to finish the next morning.
