Book Description
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 world’s 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 defects—her dark humor and insistence on saying the awkward thing out loud—into a comedy career. She got sober. And she went from dating NYC’s most emotionally unavailable artists to falling in love, and becoming a new mom.
Fully Baked is Rosebud’s riotously funny and emotionally resonant memoir. Inspired by her pregnancy and early motherhood, it’s 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 sister’s sudden death. You’ll speed through the pages to discover what happens next. Then, you’ll 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.
Editorial Reviews
Review
—KIRKUS
“Throughout, Baker is bold, funny, and self-incriminating . . . Readers will be charmed.”
—
“Baker doesn’t hold back in her candid, joke-dense first book, chronicling a difficult childhood, tragedy, and addiction but also career highlights and personal triumphs”
—
“The potential for darkness in this book in relation to family, addiction, grief, and motherhood is high, but Rosebud Baker can turn a black hole back into a star. She’s that funny.”
—
“There are so many reasons why Rosebud is one of the most respected comedians, and it’s all laid out in
Fully Baked. She makes the heavy parts of motherhood and family history light on their feet, impossibly funny, and a must-read.”—BOWEN YANG, comedian, writer, and actor
“Most new moms don’t have time to read a book, let alone write one. Rosebud didn’t just write a book, she wrote a book so funny that you’ll make time to read it.”
—
“I knew Rosebud Baker’s memoir would be very funny. What I didn’t expect—and what unfolded from the very first page—was a sharply observed, expertly written, deeply moving true story that will resonate with anyone who’s ever fought to find their place in the world.”
