Resumen del Editor

*Now a comedy series on Netflix!*
From the stand-up comedian, actress, and host beloved for her cheeky swagger, unique voice, and unapologetic frankness comes a book of “zesty and hilarious” (Publishers Weekly) essays for fans of Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me by Mindy Kaling and We’re Going to Need More Wine by Gabrielle Union.

If you’ve watched television or movies in the past couple of years, you’ve seen Michelle Buteau. With scene-stealing roles in Always Be My Maybe, First Wives Club, Someone Great, Russian Doll, and Tales of the City; a reality TV show and breakthrough stand-up specials, including her headlining show Welcome to Buteaupia on Netflix; and two podcasts (Late Night Whenever and Adulting), Michelle’s star is on the rise. You’d be forgiven for thinking the road to success—or adulthood or financial stability or self-acceptance or marriage or motherhood—has been easy, but you’d be wrong.

Now, in Survival of the Thickest, Michelle reflects on growing up Caribbean, Catholic, and thick in New Jersey, going to college in Miami (where everyone smells like pineapple), her many friendship and dating disasters, working as a newsroom editor during 9/11, getting started in stand-up opening for male strippers, marrying into her husband’s Dutch family, IVF and surrogacy, motherhood, chosen family, and what it feels like to have a full heart, tight jeans, and stardom finally in her grasp.

Hilarious, Warm-hearted, Irreverent

A wonderful listen and loved hearing it in Michelle’s voice. If you love her stand-up comedy, you’ll love hearing her in this medium. She’s is amazing in the wacky, funny moments and shines in the personal, vulnerable moments. I laughed, I cried, I renewed my commitment to flossing.

Fantastic, moving, heartfelt

I did not expect to get emotional during this book but I cried a couple of times! It’s very funny but her performance is also vulnerable and compassionate.

Kept me smiling throughout:) Love Michelle and I am inspired by her journey. She is not afraid to tell you it was not all sunshine.

That's the Caribbean in me, in case your missing some seasoning .... juggling family et. al. . This book is all that AND MORE than a bag of great chips. BUY, BUY BUY...no sell ( NYSE). ok, well...CONGRATULATIONS on this book and I loved you (&Amy) in "You'll Always Be My Maybe".

I'm in love!

This gorgeous, fiery, shameless woman is everything I want to be when I get older. She's fearless, hilarious, and doesn't apologize for being exactly who she is. Well done Michelle.

A must read!

Let me tell you, I have been a fan of her stand up forever, and after hearing her story in her voice, I love her even more! Not to mention the fact, that her mother-in-law is named Yohanna and so am I and so was my oma, Her husband is dutch and so is my mum. I love her and her husband's love story a day thier journey to parenthood. Definitely worth reading
