The Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo by Amy Schumer
Published August 17th 2016 by Harper Collins
336 Pages
Everyone has heard of Amy Schumer, and whether you are a fan of her or not, there is no denying she is a talented woman. Personally, I love Amy Schumer. I find it refreshing to see someone who is beautiful and smart and funny without feeling as though I would need an entire team of stylists to achieve her look.
If we take away her celebrity when looking at this book, you still feel the humour in the pages. I never used to be one to enjoy celebrity life-stories, but Amy Schumer has done something slightly different. It is not so much discussing her fame, as discussing who she is, and what she thinks about the world.
The pages are chock full of hilarious stories as expected, but she writes them with a real flair for words and insight that is often missing from traditional actress memoirs. Schumer is honest, raw and unashamed. She speaks of her family and friends with a deep love that translates to the reader.
I knew very little about Schumer before reading this book, and although she doesn't exactly lay out every moment of her childhood, she really gives a sense of the people around her, and so to an extent reflects herself in the depiction of her loved ones.
Overall, I adored this book, especially the audible edition. I would hate to spoil all the stories within it's pages because part of the charm is that you have no ideas what she could possibly say next. But there is only one way to find out...
You can find me on Twitter, Instagram, Goodreads and Facebook. Until then...Happy Reading.
