Summary
Spirited and whip-smart, these laugh-out-loud autobiographical essays are 'a masterpiece' from the Emmy Award-winning actress and comedy writer known for 30 Rock, Mean Girls, and SNL' (Sunday Telegraph).

Before Liz Lemon, before 'Weekend Update,' before 'Sarah Palin,' Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV.

She has seen both these dreams come true.

At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon -- from the beginning of this paragraph to this final sentence.

Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've always suspected: you're no one until someone calls you bossy.

Includes Special, Never-Before-Solicited Opinions on Breastfeeding, Princesses, Photoshop, the Electoral Process, and Italian Rum Cake!

This was a very funny and interesting book. There are a lot of references to the PDF pictures in the book. There should be a link to those pictures.

This is a seriously good listen! Tina Fey tells her story with perfect comedic timing, and even if you've read this book before, it is WAAAAYYYY better in audio form. You won't be disappointed with this book!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2011

A highly enjoyable listen. Ready by anyone other then Tina it would not have been so good. My advice, don't listen to this in a place where you would be embarrassed to laugh out loud.

I can’t stop listening to BossyPants ober and over again! I love it! She is so witty, smart, wonderful, powerful, she is so wise :D I love that Tina Fey narrates her book! She is awesone, amazing! Will keep listening to her, in this audiobook, series, and movies! She inspires me! I learned a lot and laughed a lot! Thank you!

Profile Avatar Nov 2012

I LOVED this book! A friend recommended and Tina Fey, as always, doesn't disappoint! I found that if I wasn't listening to her narrate the book and was, instead, reading it, I wouldn't have been able to do it justice as she did. She emphasized where she meant to and whispered where she meant to and it all added up to a fun, enjoyable listening experience. Highly recommend and especially in audiobook format!

Was waiting for more, but never came. Not very funny. I did finish.

Profile Avatar Maria Jun 2011

Hate her politics, love her writing. Additionally wonderful because she narrates her own words, the best form for an audiobook to take.

Profile Avatar Crystal Pereira Sep 2016

Great book! Very funny and calming to listen to. I enjoyed this very much.

Profile Avatar Zarah O\'Holleran Jun 2016

So fun! I listened at work - it made me laugh out loud.

Profile Avatar Laura Seltzer Nov 2012

Very good. Listened to it while alternating with another, heavier book about serial killers. It was just what I needed to make me laugh out loud and pull me out of the dark place the other book had put me into. Also had some surprising nuggets of good advice and real wisdom artfully woven into this highly memorable, and very relatable piece. Tina Fey reading it made it even better. Highly recommend!

Profile Avatar Kelsey Elwood Oct 2012

The book is wonderfully entertaining. It is one of those delicious books that is genuinely better read aloud. I would sincerely recommend this book, especially as an audiobook.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2025

A little disappointed. Seemed dated upon listening. Just not my cuppa tea. I didn't make it through the first few pages.

Profile Avatar Jessica A. Jan 2025

Did not like this book at all. Didn’t find it funny, it’s just random stories here and there. And there are parts where it’s hard to understand some of what Tina Fey says. I wouldn’t recommend to be honest.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2024

It was good, but I found it a bit hard to follow. Still funny nonetheless

Profile Avatar Hope C. Jul 2024

I love Tina and that she narrated the book!! She has a great way of keeping it light and fun. She shared relatable challenges as a working mom. Fun listen!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2024

Excellent plot

I love Tina Fey and 30 Rock so I thoroughly enjoyed hearing stories from her.

Really enjoyed this audiobook! Loved it

Profile Avatar PuzzlingPandora Jul 2022

Tina all the way. Delightfully sarcastic!

Profile Avatar Jodi M. Jun 2021

Absolutely entertaining and enlightening insight into the life of one of the funniest and most talented actor/producer/writer (& awesome mom) ever. Loved it! Also having Tina read her book was amazeballs!

Profile Avatar Patty Oole Feb 2021

A funny, light-hearted, girl empowerment read.

Profile Avatar Diana W. Jul 2020

enjoyable funny alot of info i didnt know.

Profile Avatar Sara C. Mar 2020

Intelligent, insightful and hilarious. Every woman would love this book!!!!!

Profile Avatar Sara C. Feb 2020

From the story to the story teller- 100% would recomend this book!

Profile Avatar Jeff Stewart Oct 2019

A little late - but we got to know Tina and what drives her captivating humor. Make sure you have a double-shot espresso ready to keep pace with her narration. I think she may have been fueled by the same when writing and reading. She drops a nice volume of cryptic references that may not be caught if you're distracted while listening.

Profile Avatar Anne B. Mar 2019

Do not like the book and thé narrator.

Profile Avatar Michael S. Jul 2018

Tina Fey is amazing. Live her even more, very well done

Profile Avatar Krista D Jul 2017

LOVED THIS BOOK! I love Tina Fey and her witty sarcasm! So glad she read it herself, it wouldn't have been the same if it were someone else. I am sure I looked like a crazy person laughing in my car commuting to work but soooo worth it!

Profile Avatar Crystal Hubbard Feb 2017

Absolutely hilarious! It's an excellent book that I 100% recommend. Like the other reviews say, don't listen to this book if your not comfortable smiling and laughing like a crazy person in public.

Profile Avatar andrew mcgee Jan 2017

Hilarious and insightful. A truly wonderful experience, you must listen to this book!

Profile Avatar Barbara Wilbur Jan 2017

Hilarious! And it gets better as it goes, so if you're a little undecided after 30-60 minutes, stick with it.

Profile Avatar Tara English-Sweeney Dec 2016

Entertaining book and I loved that Tina Fey narrated it herself.

Profile Avatar lennie albers Dec 2016

First audio book and i loved it. Tina is a great storyteller!

Profile Avatar Brittany Hart Nov 2016

Funny but kind of short. Wish I'd noticed that before hand. But I Iove Tina Fey! She's Hilarious! I agree it would not have been as good of a read as it was a listen narrated by Tina.

Profile Avatar Jean Montano Oct 2016

The audio quality was great, very easy to stop and start as needed, and I like that it automatically paused and kept going whenever the GPS woud interrupt to say something. Also, Tina Fey is hilarious.

Profile Avatar Casey Jacob Sep 2016

Hilarious and honest. Laugh out loud funny! Would highly recommend this book for a first time audiobook experience.

Profile Avatar Gina Rustici Sep 2016

Enticing and interesting! A good read and interesting account of SNL life.

Profile Avatar Kelli Palen Sep 2016

For this being my first time ever really listening to an audio book I sure picked a great one. Bossypants is funny, honest, and an all around great book. It has Tina Fey's quirky sense of humor which I love and I enjoyed listening to it. I would definitely recommend this book!

Profile Avatar Ashtynn Edenhofer Jun 2016

Great book to listen to on a long road trip! Tina Fey never disappoints, super funny!

Profile Avatar Hillary Kuklenski May 2016

This book was great. Having Tina Fey as the narrator made it better

Profile Avatar Suzanne Anderson May 2016

She was funny. But actually kind of irritating. It was kind of a brag story about all the cool things she has accomplished and also a women's manifesto about working and being moms and being successful and being a comedienne. She did make me laugh. And it was kind of a story of a lady with first world problems.

Profile Avatar Jessica Moore May 2016

I'm already a fan of Tina Fey and think she is talented. This autobiographical audio book is quite funny and I love hearing Tina as the narrator. After being fully invested in the 5.5 hours of her abridged tales of childhood, personal and family life, and experience with improv, writing, and acting I admire her for honesty and without a doubt I respect her work so much more.

Profile Avatar Kayla Schroepfer May 2016

Amazing! Love the TIna Fey narration! I believe that if I would have simply red the book myself it would not have gotten the full effect! I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good laugh!

Profile Avatar dwijal mehta Apr 2016

Very funny! Full of insights. Tina Fey does a great job as narrator. It's an absolute must for Fey fans or anyone who loves comedy. :)

Profile Avatar AsyA Webb Dec 2015

Funny and entertaining . She makes the most casual assessments of situations hysterical.

Profile Avatar Kathy Keil-Rogers Oct 2015

Tina is so clever, she's wicked quick and very real! Loved her book and especially loved that she was the narrator...!

Profile Avatar Stacy Griffin Sep 2015

Very funny!! I think she should make another one. I would love to hear more details about her family life with her kids.

Profile Avatar Amanda Krzywonski Aug 2015

This was an absolutely wonderful book. Part of what made it so awesome was that it is an autobiography by Tine Fey, herself. Having one of the most wonderful comedians read her life to us is a once in a lifetime gift to come across. You see a side of a woman that you never knew existed. You find you oddly have things in common, and find a way to smile about the most twisted topics in life! 5 stars all the way around!!!

Profile Avatar Melissa Zajac Jul 2015

Amazing, great book. I laughed and laughed, it was perfectly written

Profile Avatar Joy Sichveland Jul 2015

So Funny! Tina Fey cracks me up over and over again. Made a long car ride very enjoyable.

Profile Avatar Shana Simpson Jul 2015

Loved this book! Tina has great insight into life and I got some great thoughts while listening to this!

Profile Avatar Chelsea Kohfield Jul 2015

Fey had me giggling in fits and then quite in thought, her honesty was so refreshing even my husband was cracking up to it! So glad to have listened to Bossypants!

Profile Avatar Katie Shelvy Jun 2015

Very funny. I love the fact I can picture Tina talking directly to me about *stuff and it makes me love her even more!

Profile Avatar Lisa Flemming May 2015

My boyfriend and I listened to this on a road trip and we both really enjoyed it! She had some hilarious points that also provided a refreshing perspective on how to live your life.

Profile Avatar Marisa Colone Mar 2015

YES. Everything about this book is perfect. Tina Fey is obviously the best person to narrate a book about herself. Bossypants had me laughing out loud almost the entire time. When I wasn't laughing, I was relating to her

Profile Avatar Melissa DiLonardo Mar 2015

Witty and smartly entertaining. Tina is a joy to listen to.

Profile Avatar Joseph Compton Feb 2015

I really enjoyed this book. I'm a sucker for a celebrity biography. I recently purchased this title and couldn't take my earbuds out. Highly recommended to anyone who also enjoys celebrity biographies. Also, I really enjoyed having Tina Fey narrate it.

Profile Avatar Natalie Caldwell Sep 2013

I can't say enough positive things about this booked! I laughed so much, yet related. I have made the ultimate decision that Tina Fey & I are BFFs!

Profile Avatar Leanna Lehmer Jul 2013

Tina Fey is hilarious. Her stories had me giggling at my desk at work. (I'm sure my coworkers think I'm insane!)

Profile Avatar melissa wilkins Jun 2013

I totally cracked up throughout the whole book! It was even better that Tina herself read the book...I highly recommend this book. It shows very relatable situations to career women everywhere.

Profile Avatar Jessica Teal Mar 2013

Loved the book! Tina is so entertaining and had me laughing out loud!

Profile Avatar Nov 2012

Very enjoyable book to listen to! Laughed out loud numerous times. Loved the part when she talked about her dad - Don Fey - and working in the YMCA.

Profile Avatar VerOnica Firestine Nov 2012

Hilarious and insightful. A thoroughly entertaining listen.

Profile Avatar valorie pruitt Oct 2012

It was okay but I lost interest after a while. Narration was alright but I just didn't think it was hilarious. I guess just not my kind of humor.

Profile Avatar Sep 2012

Very intelligent. Enjoyed the sporadic cursing. Colorful.

Profile Avatar Luke Payne Sep 2012

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. This was audiobook heaven for me.

Profile Avatar test test Aug 2012

A highly enjoyable listen. Ready by anyone other then Tina it would not have been so good. My advice, don't listen to this in a place where you would be embarrassed to laugh out loud.
