The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo
by Amy Schumer
Honestly, I'd rate this book 3 and a half stars. The book had to grow on me. When a comedian writes a book I expect more laughter than I often receive. Instead, they often tell a story of the source of their jokes/pain. And, at times, it was just plain boring. It took me a long time to finish listening to her book because I had other more interesting things I could be listening to.
I will give Schumer credit because she was unflinchingly honest about every embarrassing detail of her life. Her humanity shone through as she discussed her father's battle with MS. She did not hold back on discussing her sexual life and the times she was taken advantage of. I applaud her willingness to take on the rape culture in our society while being open about her not squeaky clean image or past. People often want a 'perfect victim' or they'll excuse a crime and she won't stand for it.
I did not always understand the order of the stories or even the point of a few but all in all it was a decent read (well, listen, I had the audiobook).
