I will first admit that I'm a sucker for these type of books. I've read Mindy Khaling's, Tina Fey's, Lena Dunham's and even Ellen Degeneres'. I'll also admit that I'm a 24 year old girl, and that my opinions are probably biased based on my age and the (lack of) life experiences I've had so far.First of all, if you're considering picking up the book versus buying the Kindle version, I would strongly recommend the hard copy. The book is formatted with glossy pages full of colored pictures and chapter titles that I really love (attached some photos and a video). It makes the reading experience a whole lot more exciting. Every time I turned upon a new chapter, I would have to stop for a moment and smile to myself.That being said, I was excited about Amy's book because I've an avid fan of Parks and Rec, and her previous work on SNL. To me, she just seemed like a really warm person and people only have compliments when talking about her. I couldn't wait to read a book in her voice and learn more about her past.Some Youtube clips that I just had to dig up after reading about them from Amy's perspective:SNL Sarah Palin rap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG1g5qvgtSg2011 Emmy's bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyFyJqx1lpc2009 Emmy's bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jSk8yzlm94I'm glad to say I was not disappointed at all. Compared to some of the other authors that I have mentioned, Amy does have more stories and chapters on experiences that I couldn't quite relate to (pregnancy, divorce, raising kids), but by reading about those stories I felt a little more prepared for the future.
