NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY VULTURE AND NPR

Fascinating. --Taika Waititi

Now in paperback, a hilarious, moving memoir by Argentine American comedian Tamara Yajia, one of the funniest people I know (Cecily Strong).

Tamara Yajia entered the world on a wave of absurdity, born into a family no one would call normal, from her grandfather, the salami-obsessed poppers salesman, to her mother, the OnlyFans model. Not only will her family try anything once, like moving to the United States and opening a food stand named Sexy Chicken; they'll try anything multiple times, like moving back to Argentina, then back to the United States.

The road doesn't get easier for a twelve-year-old Argentinian Jew trying to make it big in Orange County. But through grit, hustle, and a series of harebrained schemes like joining a girl band, and performing her own one-woman show, Cumming of Age, Tam has made it through, and she's ready to spill some shit--figuratively and literally.

Tamara Yajia's debut memoir is the messy, blazing story of a young Argentine trying to survive while holding on to her confidence, ambition, and sense of humor.

Tamara Yajia's book is everything you could want from a memoir--the juiciest details, unforgettable characters, all sensually dancing on that delicate tightrope of hilarious and vulnerable. I wholeheartedly give it five out of five child stars. --Aparna Nancherla
