A little more stressful to read than I expected. Some of the trauma she unloads is very heavy stuff. Not that it shouldn't be unloaded or talked about, and she did warn us in the beginning that part of her writing the book was so she didn't have to be funny all the time, but it felt unbalanced by the humor and levity you expect from a comedian's memoir. Some of the humor surrounding these more difficult parts felt cheaply self-deprecating.

Overall though, not a bad book, and will probably be good for other fans of Whitney Cummings comedy.
