A memoir about coming of age in the shadow of celebrity and finding your own way in the face of absolute chaos by the daughter of actor and comedian Roseanne.
What The Reviewers Say
Pentland has a snarky gift of words. Clearly, Pentland, who could have easily filled a lengthy memoir by the time she was a teen, wisely waited until now for this gem. This Will be Funny Later—the best memoir this reviewer has read in many years, is a biting, bittersweet, and absolutely brilliant MUST-READ, chock full of life lessons. JENNY PENTLAND, YOU ARE A SUPERHERO!.
The daughter of comedian Roseanne Barr recounts her unusual childhood with humor and self-deprecation.
This complex, scathingly funny memoir about dealing with the toxic glow of fame offers an intimate look at a woman’s struggle to shape a life on her own terms. Pentland also provides a unique angle on the cult of celebrity and how its effects ripple out far beyond just the celebrity.
...bracingly honest and mordantly funny.
