Whitney Cummings

Whitney Cummings' book I'm Fine... and Other Lies is an honest biography with lots of self-help thrown in throughout the book.

I've always enjoyed Whitney's stand-up. She's honest, funny, and one of the best female comedians out there. This book shows us there's a lot of painful back story behind this absolutely hilarious woman. Am I surprised? No. A lot of funny people don't have the easiest lives. Regardless, Whitney shares her experiences (both heartbreaking and hilarious), and gives a lot of tips she's learned over the years from her therapists.

Side note: Thank you Whitney for making therapy seem more normal by talking more about it in this book. You're helping remove the stigma behind not getting help for your mental health.

Overall, this book is funny, insightful, and honestly very helpful. Whitney gives fantastic insights into what she learned from therapy, and made a great read.

Four out of five stars!… (mehr)
