What can I say? This book was just as funny as I thought and hoped it would be. Laugh out loud at some parts, so relatable, and also se sweet stories for a nice balance.

I’m Fine…And Other Lies by Whitney Cummings

Whitney Cummings takes us into her confidence and shares secrets like we’re her diary. Or best friends. Or her therapist. Nothing is off limits and there are no dull, filler spots in this book.

More like the author is a an MI-5 agent on mission, riding a motorcycle at top speed, driving through dangerous spots, evading and fighting off enemies and saboteurs of insecurities, self-sabotaging behavior, fears, botched surgeries and other physical damage as she manages to thrive and excel in a splendid career in spite of them.
You want to be her best friend and tell her how brilliant and wondrous and sincerely good she is, while you’re happy that she does have close trustworthy pals and, finally, a good therapist.

Sharing, baring the uncomfortable truths and delivering all with her wildly hilarious style, as you’d expect it to be told by Max Black, the character played by Kat Denning in Two Broke Girls, the sitcom created by Cummings and Michael Patrick King.

Whitney Cummings’ honesty, hard work, savvy and sincerity make her a strong role model. As if that’s not enough – she’s a dog lover with a heart for rescue dogs.

Whitney Cummings is so hilarious and honest. This memoir will have you laughing out loud, but there will also be times you’ll be nodding your head at how relatable she is in her most personal, introspective stories. If you’re a fan, do not miss I’m Fine…And Other Lies. And if you’re just now being introduced to Cummings, you’ll be a fan by the end. Highly recommended!

Whitney Cummings writes a funny yet serious at turns memoir that holds nothing back. Charming yet eye-opening, this is a must for fans of her comedy and others such as Ali Wong and Laura Clery.

Got sucked into the stand up wonder of Whitney Cummings and was not disappointed in her book. Witty, acerbic, and hilarious. A must add to comedy collections!

I love Whitney Cummings, so would have read this no matter what. This title wasn't side-splittingly funny, but I definitely laughed. It's honest and introspective - it reminded me of Chelsea Handler's latest book. It's still fun to read, but peppered with just enough insight and reality to keep it from being "comic". Still, it's one of those light, easy-to-devour titles that makes you feel a little less alone with your crazy.
