Kim's Reviews > The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo

I enjoyed this book club selection a lot more than I thought I would. In the middle of all the raunchy stuff (which I didn’t find as funny as hearing her deliver it in stand-up, but still had some amusing segments), Amy writes about substantive issues— sexual assault, gender inequity, gun control, body image, her father’s battle with MS. She nails the definition of an introvert. And her annotated journal entries from ages 13 on up are pretty hilarious.

I’m torn between a 3 and a 4, but I’m leaning more toward the 3 just because the constant back and forth between gossipy sex stuff and her thoughts on more serious topics makes the flow a bit jarring.
