SO CLOSE TO BEING THE SH-T, Y'ALL DON'T EVEN KNOW

You may be familiar with Retta's work on the TV show "Parks and Recreation." If so, this will be a rollicking good time as the author shares the backstory of her bumpy road to stardom. If not, this is still a great listen as Retta's effusive personality inhabits the tell-all anecdotes. From how she talked herself out of auditioning for a role in the film DREAM GIRLS to how she won a year's worth of Taco Bell, the listener is in for a treat as Retta's warmth and humor take them by the ear. As far as celebrity memoirs go, this is more self-deprecating than most. And that might place it near the top of the list of those that are the most fun.
