Subtitled: Comedy Calamities, Dating Disasters, and a Midlife Miracle.
I have a love-hate relationship with memoirs/humorous essay
books written by comedians. However, I was surprised to find that I rather liked this one. (I should have been able to tell by the excellent subtitle alliteration.)
The beginning is a bit of inside dish on being a
non-traditional looking actress in Hollywood who rather publicly got replaced
on a major television show (30 Rock). The next part is about dating in New
York, which is deliciously traumatizing, and the third is about finding herself
unexpectedly pregnant in her early forties. Through the entire book, and all of her memoirs, she is wonderfully self-aware, and the book is well-organized and
funny. Good stuff!
