About this listen
The highly anticipated first book from award-winning comedian, writer, producer and actress, Amy Schumer.
One of AudioFile Magazine’s Best Audiobooks of 2016.
In The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo, Amy shares stories about her family, her relationships, her career, good – and bad – sex, recounting the experiences that have shaped who she is today: from the riches to rags story of her childhood to her teenage quest for popularity (and boys) to becoming one of the most sought-after comedians on the planet and an outspoken advocate for women’s rights.
Whether she’s experiencing lust at first sight in the queue at the airport, discovering her boot camp instructor’s secret bad habit, or candidly discussing her father’s multiple sclerosis, Amy Schumer proves to be a fearless, original, and always entertaining storyteller. Her book will move you, make you laugh, catch you completely off guard, and answer this burning question: is it okay for a 35 year-old woman to still sleep with her childhood teddy bears?
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews
‘This is the most I‘ve ever laughed out loud at a book.’ – J.K. Rowling
‘Amy Schumer’s deadpan honesty shines through in these hilarious, moving vignettes about life, love and her early years.’ – The Observer
‘Schumer doesn’t hold back – and though she insists “this book has NO SELF-HELP OR ADVICE FOR YOU”, it has something even better: hard won wisdom’ – Radio Times
‘This book is what a selection of personal essays and letters should be, witty, sometimes casual, sometimes achingly sad but always entertaining.’ – Funny Women
‘Women (actually, men too) of the world, you need to read this book.’ – InStyle
‘She’s a concert pianist of comedy: keeping a steady rhythm of jokes with her left hand, adding deeply political, immensely feminist flourishes with her right.’ – The Pool
‘This book is soulful, hilarious and deeply necessary.’ – Lena Dunham
‘Schumer has written a probing, confessional, unguarded, and, yes, majorly humanizing non-memoir, a book that trades less on sarcasm, and more on emotional resonance.’ – Vogue
‘A hilarious and deeply emotional book’ – Cosmopolitan
‘Schumer is a talented storyteller. She’s known for standing in a spotlight and sharing every corner of her soul with thousands of strangers. So it’s no surprise that her book is packed with hilarious, honest and often vulnerably raw details of her life… Readers will laugh and cry, and may put the book down from moments of honesty that result in uncomfortable realistic details from her life.’ – Washington Post
‘Schumer weaves a brave, vulnerable tale without falling into the usual celebrity traps of neediness and defense… It's spit-out-your-Starbucks-in-public funny. – Chicago Tribune
‘Empowered, honest, and just as raunchy as you'd expect from the no-holds-barred comedian.’ – Esquire
‘Amy Schumer is funny, but she's also brave.’ – Huffington Post
‘Fairly explicit and frankly hilarious’ – Mashable

Loved it from start to finish.
Am a fan of comedy so thought this would be a good book to listen to and was not disappointed, Amy is funny throughout and gives an honest insight in to her life sharing the good and bad. Amy says that is not a self help book and it isn't but there are some real lessons in here that we all could learn.

Love love loved it
Brilliant, hilarious, an education. Loved listening on Audible rather than reading the book, just for Amy's delivery.

A fantastic exploration of a woman's life
This book felt so incredibly and painfully honest and I often hurt on behalf of the author however it remained an uplifting and funny story showing that there is always light amongst the dark. I loved the focus on woman's issues amongst other things, it showed issues in an unavoidable light and I wish more books could do that. This book was also wonderful in that the author explored her "flaws" although I'd rather say she explored her humanity. There seemed no attempt to wrap up things in a tidy bow, they simply were as the are and I appreciated reading that. I hope there are future books so we can continue to explore life together.

The possibly most honest, frank and funny bio you'll read
You can't help liking Amu Schumer after reading this book. A comic who cares, wears herself on her sleeve and I suspect will be at the top for a long time.

Buy the audio book not the book. You won't regret it.
Loved this so much. Honest. Funny. Surprising. Sad. And all the better for having Amy (we are definitely on first name terms now) read it. Recommend whole heartedly. Though not suitable for work, children, in front of easily shocked elderly parents etc etc.

Funny and touching
Not sure why I bought this book as had never really heard of Amy before but it was excellent thoroughly entertaining both funny and emotionally charged in equal measure, the author is clearly talented with a perfect outlook for life - loved every minute of it

Equally funny and touching
I really enjoyed this. particularly hearing Amy's words as she intended them to be read. It's funny as expected but also goes into the more serious aspects of life.
