I really enjoyed this book, and if you're at all familiar with Molly Shannon's comedy and are a fan, you'll probably enjoy it as well. Some reviews lodge complaints about the book sounding like a teenage diary and that's valid but I for one appreciate Shannon's wide eyed exuberance at Life In General. She strikes me as someone who strives to keep it positive, who's grateful for every good thing that's happened to her, and who learns from the bad things. 

The book opens with a big hit of trauma. I was literally crying in my car hearing her voice break and how much it still affected her all these years later. Her dad is by turns lovable and enraging, but it makes more sense towards the end of the book. 

I thought this was a pretty great celebrity memoir. It had a few juicy bits about being on SNL and helped give insight into Shannon's childhood. I'd always loved her as a comedian because she seemed less about *making* fun of a character and more about *having* fun with a character.
