An astonishingly candid and funny memoir that will make you laugh and cry while it steals your heart, from a renowned stand-up comedian and veteran SNL writer who is an expert in making light of lifes most devastating moments (Rolling Stone).Rosebud Baker grew up as a loudmouth who preferred to be honest than polite, which is another way of saying she was unemployable. She spent her twenties trying to make it as an actor in New York like every other privileged millennial transplant cosplaying Rent, while gigging as a barista and as the worlds angriest yoga instructor. She was blackout drunk most of the time, struggling with alcoholism. She even tried to steal a bodega cat. Eventually, she harnessed the qualities she once saw as defectsher dark humor and insistence on saying the awkward thing out loudinto a comedy career. She got sober. And she went from dating NYCs most emotionally unavailable artists to falling in love, and becoming a new mom. Fully Baked is Rosebuds riotously funny and emotionally resonant memoir. Inspired by her pregnancy and early motherhood, its also her quest to discover who she really is and how she wants to raise her daughter. Every chapter is smart, self-deprecating, and laugh-out-loud funny, and no subject is off limits, from her famous yet unknowable grandfather, White House Chief of Staff James A. Baker III, to her youngest sisters sudden death. Youll speed through the pages to discover what happens next. Then, youll look back on a remarkable book that felt like an intimate conversation with a friend who made you feel better by confessing all the ways they screwed up.
