This collection of essays is an entertaining look at Samantha Bee's childhood and coming of age, along with snippets from her adulthood. She grew up in three different homes--with her mother, grandmother, and father and stepmother (who were all very interesting characters themselves)--and she gained an array of experiences that made me laugh, shake my head, and/or groan. The individual essays sometimes hop from topic to topic before they're tied back together, which makes reading them more like hearing her speak in an informal setting. A bit rambling at times, but I lost track of the times I laughed out loud, which made it worth it.
