The best scene in Bossypants is when Tina Fey describes an encounter between Jimmy Fallon and Amy Poehler. Fallon makes a joke about not liking a joke Poehler was making and she whips around and states matter-of-factly “I don’t…care if you like it” and continued with her joke. This scene sets the tone for the entire book. Fey states her opinions in the book and does not care if the readers like them or hate them. The books describes her way of living and does not care how others feel about her opinions, jokes, choices or television show.

Bossypants is a hilarious memoir with life advice in every chapter. I found myself laughing out loud multiple times.  On your next vacation take this book with you, put your feet up, relax and devour this book! In my opinion, only women with a sense of humor would love this book. So ladies please do not give this to the co-worker who never cracks a smile! It contains practical work advice about how to manage men in the office, your boss and sticky situations. It also shows us the real Tina Fey, which is just a regular woman who is a mother with a hectic job, a wife and a friend. Yes, the book skips around a bit but that just shows us part of her personality, just being a little random and not caring if we like it.

            In conclusion, if you have a sense of humor and do not mind a book that speaks its mind pick up this book! Yes, it skips around a lot. Yes, it is a book that can sometimes be a little “off” but that is just Tina Fey. By the end of the book you will understand her better and feel like you made a new friend.
