Tinaca Jones

De: Matt Boren

Narrado por: Retta, Matt Boren, Stephanie Lemelin

Please Note: This content is not for kids. This audio comedy features adult language (hurled especially at one malicious, phony Kelly Smith). Discretion is advised.

In this dramatic comedy, Parks and Recreation and Good Girls star Retta brings humor and strength to her role as the unforgettable Tinaca Jones.

What’s in a name? A lot. The name Tinaca, for example, has been passed down in the Jones family for generations of women. In fact, the Joneses name a Tinaca every other generation, to let the name breathe a little. To let each Tinaca shine. And shine is exactly what Tinaca Jones intends to do.

A grocery cashier by day and household name in the making by night, Tinaca Jones pays her dues, saves her coins, and takes business and marketing classes. She spends every second readying to launch her lifestyle brand for anyone who wants to live like her - that is, intentionally and fabulously. But when a basic blonde with an even more basic name, Kelly Smith, approaches her register and peeps her nametag, Tinaca’s plans come crashing down all around her.

The next thing Tinaca knows, Kelly Smith has launched herself into overnight fame with a pathetic, old-as-time, red-carpet stunt, using the stage name "Tinaca Jones". But Kelly Smith messed with the wrong woman. What follows is Tinaca Jones’s wild and triumphant account of the battle to reclaim her name, told over the course of an epic and hilarious deposition.

OMGOSH!!!! I loved this book!!!

I was putting Christmas decorations away today and just wanted a light listen. My kids looked at me like I was crazy when I seriously doubled over during one incredibly fun and funny passage in this book. I sincerely laughed out loud!

I never send books to people because my taste is just so vast. If friends don't like what I loved, that would not be good. (Best to just keep my jewels to myself.) Not this book though!!! I sent it to my kids because they needed to know why I had tears in my eyes, and more importantly, there are few books that can be shared by Boomer and Millennial alike but this one certainly can.

Retta is the embodiment of Tinaca Jones. The interview style that is used to tell the story is right in her lane. She was so funny and so in the zone. The story was social media relevant and I could not get enough.

Give yourself the best laugh out loud moment you will probably have this year and listen to this book!

A Good Read

Very funny and quick witted, the narrorators were awesome and brought the book to life.

This was so entertaining!!

I loved this story - There is a ton of cursing, but if you can get passed that Retta is so entertaining and charming. So Charming, I wished I actually knew her. Larger than Life Tinaca Jones is hilarious.

quick listen

It was like someone sitting next to me telling a story. Very funny. Quick.

Good listen

This read got me thru my first work Friday of the new year! Very enjoyable

surprised me

Wasn't sure I'd like it but I laughed all the way through! Silly fun.

funny

This was a January audible of the month so I chose it for one of my free credits—didn’t know how I would like it from the description but it was a great choice! Had me laughing and constantly listening any chance I could!

Definitely NOT suitable for work cause you’ll laugh out loud

OK, yes there is a lot of profanity, but it is so well done, you’ll hardly notice after a while. You have to pay attention because this is chock full of pop culture and current event references, as well as phrases commonly used today, all of which lends to the story. Rhetta is FANTASTIC and perfectly cast. I want more - more Rhetta, more Tinaca!

Witty!

Laughed out loud! Thought the performance was great! Definitely glad to have listened! Very cleverly written! Good stuff!

Hilariously On Point!!!!

Absolutely LOVED it! Intelligence meets ghetto. Witty, well informed, college educated, does not dis her heritage. My kind of sister!
