Erin's Reviews > I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This [But I'm Going to Anyway]

ARC for review. To be published June 4, 2024.

I had never heard of this person and read the book based on the Jon Stewart blurb. What an unexpected delight!

Her clever, clever take on what sounds like horrific domestic violence, her inimitable godmother Grace, friendship breakups and the devastation that followed, her time as a drag queen, her delightful wedding, all are portrayed in great detail. Then, on top of her hardships, an enormous tumor (this woman has seen some stuff).

Then, descriptions of her fabulous female friends, including their efforts to make the female comedy world easier to break into for those who aren’t Harvard grads. And some fun celebrity stuff!

She’s wonderfully honest and honestly wonderful. Highly recommended, truly a joy to read from start to finish.
