A collection of humorous autobiographical essays by the Academy Award-nominated actress and star of Up in the Air and Pitch Perfect.
I’m excited to publish my first book, and because I get uncomfortable when
people have high expectations, I'd like to use this opportunity to showcase my
ineptitude, pettiness, and the frequency with which I embarrass myself. And
while many of my female inspirations who have become authors are incredibly
well-educated and accomplished comedy writers, I'm very, very funny on Twitter,
according to Buzzfeed and my mom, so I feel like this is a great idea. Quick
question: are run-on sentences still frowned upon? Wait, is ending a sentence
with a preposition still frowned upon? I mean, upon frowned? Dammit! Anna
