My Squirrel Days by Ellie KemperMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
What was this book meant to be? I feel so bad giving this book only 2 stars but for some reason I couldn't understand what this book was. Is it a memoir? Is it an autobiography? Is it a book of essays? I think that it was leaning more toward the latter but I honestly couldn't tell. That was the most confusing part to me and it really took away from my listening experience. Also, I thought listening to Ellie Kemper read her book would be a benefit as most comedians read their own books better than anyone else. However, I felt like it was another hindrance for my enjoyment of her writing. I like Ellie's acting and she is a very humorous person but this book didn't speak to me. I felt that this was an attempt to emulate Tiny Fey and Mindy Kaling and she failed to live up to either of these legends.
