lady_svoboda 's review for:
The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo
by Amy Schumer
I would love to give this a higher rating, but it took me almost 3 months to finish.
First of all, I love Amy Schumer. Some girlfriends and I went to see her on a Tuesday night in the winter in a huge arena with a few thousand women and a scattering of men. Her new special on Netflix is basically what she covered, and many people (my husband, for one) find her too crude. But here's the thing: for that night, the energy in that stadium was charged with laughter of thousands of women laughing at what happens to... well... women! It was so nice to just laugh and not be embarrassed! My pregnant friend literally laughed so hard she pee'd a little, which was even funnier.
I feel like she'd be a great friend, and that we have a lot in common (no, really!). I don't feel like an entire book was the right set-up for her, however. A collection of essays would have maybe been a better fit? Something is lost in translation. But it's her life, and she was very honest in it, so kudos for that! She is "brave" but not in the "posting a swimsuit picture" awful way, but in the "standing up for what she believes in" kinda of way.
I will always be grateful to her for giving us gals a night to bond over her life observations, and am cheering for her next venture. Why?

It's relaxing sometimes, just being human.
