It's Always Something by Gilda Radner
2.0

I picked this up thinking it was more of a celebrity autobiography, which I love. I wanted to learn more about Gilda Radner and her life. This is mostly a book about her cancer diagnosis and treatment, but through it I think I got a sense of why everyone loved her so much. This book is sad. Sad. Sad. Sad. But also super funny in parts. I think it's really meant more to be read by people who are also dealing with cancer--which thankfully I am not--but I still enjoyed reading it. Just if you're going into it thinking you're going to learn a lot about SNL, you're not.

Now I also kind of want to learn more about Gene Wilder.
