Helpful Score: 4
Don't expect a wholesome flashback to the eighties when you crack the cover of Sarah Thyre's memoir. It is indeed - dark at the roots - full of the stuff many of us might remember thinking, feeling, doing but would never admit.
If you're a bit cynical, a bit off-center, you'll likely enjoy Thyre's retelling of her childhood drama (no wonder she ended up on stage). For those who came of age in the 80's there are priceless tidbits of our youth - her admission that everything she knew about periods came from Judy Blume - which will resonate.
Fans of Sedaris will find an apt student in these pages.
