Leslie F*cking Jones

What I love most in celebrity autobiographies is honesty, and this is as honest as it gets. Get the audiobook on this one, y'all.

I really enjoyed this book. It brought me through several emotions (which I like). I laughed a few times, was upset with her a few times, sad with her a few times, and shared her anger. I even slammed the book closed once. Any book that can do that, earns some stars. Good read, felt like some parts dragged just a little though.

I read the hardcover version and followed up with the audiobook because I heard that Leslie Jones not only “reads” the book herself, but also riffs on what she wrote. So, listening and reading are totally different experiences, but both are very much Leslie Jones.

She is super honest and straightforward about her all facets of her life. There are times where you will cry at the hardships she and her family endured and times where you will laugh and cheer at Leslie's audacity and courage. It's always interesting to me to hear any creative person talk about their inspiration and artistic process, so this book fit that bill.
