The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo<\/em> by Amy Schumer<\/p>\n

I’ve read several autobiographies by comedians in the last few years– Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Mindy Kaling, Faith Salie… hmmm, I felt like this list would be longer.<\/p>\n

All of them have been funny, all have been interesting, all are good reads I would recommend… by Amy Schumer’s is the first one that also made me somewhat terrified for my daughter.<\/p>\n

Ms. Schumer tells stories of her encounters with abusive or unstable boyfriends, and I’d love to say my daughter is too self-possessed, too smart, too self-respectful to fall for the crap a wrong person brings. But the fact is… so was Amy Schumer.<\/p>\n

I’d like to think that we’re raising our daughter in a better environment, and maybe that will help, but you just never know. <\/p>\n

Probably the best thing I can do is just let her read Amy’s book. When she’s much, much older, because this sucker is pretty raunchy and definitely R-rated, like most things Amy does.<\/p>\n

Regardless, this was an excellent, funny, often poignant, sometimes cringe-worthy book. Definitely recommend.<\/p>\n
