Resumen del Editor

This program is read by the author.

"This book feels like a real conversation. When we enter Retta's world we are at the best party and in the hands of a gracious, self-perceptive, and deeply hilarious host." (Amy Poehler)

In this hilarious audiobook essay collection, Parks and Recreation star Retta shares the stories that led to her success in Hollywood.

In So Close to Being the Sh*t, Y'all Don't Even Know, Parks and Recreation star Retta takes us on her not-so-meteoric rise from roaches to riches (well, rich enough that she can buy $15,000 designer handbags yet scared enough to know she's always a heartbeat away from ramen with American cheese).

Throwing her hardworking Liberian parents through a loop, Retta abandons her plan to attend med school after graduating Duke University to move to Hollywood to star in her own sitcom - like her comedy heroes Lucille Ball and Roseanne.

Say what? Word. Turns out Retta might actually be on to something. After winning Comedy Central's stand-up competition, she should be ready for prime time - but a fear of success derails her biggest dream.

Whether reminiscing about her days as a contract chemist at GlaxoSmithKline, telling "dirty" jokes to Mormons, feeling like the odd man out on Parks, fending off racist trolls on Twitter, flirting with Michael Fassbender, or expertly stalking the cast of Hamilton, Retta's unique voice and refreshing honesty will make you laugh, cry, and laugh so hard you'll cry.

Her eponymous sitcom might not have happened yet, but by the end of So Close to Being the Sh*t, listeners will be rooting for Retta to be the next one-named wonder to take over your television. And she just might inspire you to reach for the stars, too.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Two things - 1) Don't yell 'Treat Yo Self' at Retta if you see her in person, a lot of people have done that already, just whisper it to yourself and give her a thumbs up. That'd be cool. 2) Check out her book. Stop reading this quote and buy it already, boo boo." (Aziz Ansari, best-selling author of Modern Romance)

Fun Listen

So relatable to my own childhood. I smiled through the entire listen, laughed out loud several times, and shouted, me too! a lot.

So sad it’s over!

LOOOOOOOOOOVED it! Retta is not only an amazing storyteller, she’s a hell of a performer - even on an audiobook. I laughed out loud more times than I can count, and by the end, I honestly felt like I was saying goodbye to a great friend. This is the first audiobook where I was genuinely sad it was over. I need more Retta in my life!

Laugh out loud funny!

I love Retta so much after reading this! She is humble, hilarious, and knows her value. I was laughing so much - this book is definitely meant to be listened to. Love, love, love. If you enjoy BossyPants by Tina Fey, you will love this too!

Love it!

Retta's book was really funny and honest. At times I wish there were more vulnerable stories because most of the chapters were funny. However, she's an awesome narrator and I loved it!
