About this audiobook

2017 Audie Award Finalist for Audiobook of the Year and Narration by the Author

#1 New York Times Bestseller

"Amy Schumer's book will make you love her even more. For a comedian of unbridled (and generally hilarious) causticity, 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

"The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo is an alternatingly meditative, sexually explicit, side-splittingly hilarious, heart-wrenching, disturbing, passionately political, and always staggeringly authentic ride through the highs and lows of the comedic powerhouse's life to date." —Harper's Bazaar

"This is your happy hour with Amy Schumer...It's Bossypants meets Trainwreck meets your long weekend." —TheSkimm

“Amy’s got your back. She’s in your corner. She’s an honesty bomb. And she’s coming for you.
—Actress Tilda Swinton and Trainwreck co-star

The Emmy Award-winning comedian, actress, writer, and star of Inside Amy Schumer, Hulu's Life & Beth, and the acclaimed film Trainwreck has taken the entertainment world by storm with her winning blend of smart, satirical humor. Now, Amy Schumer has written a refreshingly candid and uproariously funny collection of (extremely) personal and observational essays.


In The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo, Amy mines her past for stories about her teenage years, her family, relationships, and sex and shares the experiences that have shaped who she is—a woman with the courage to bare her soul to stand up for what she believes in, all while making us laugh.

Ranging from the raucous to the romantic, the heartfelt to the harrowing, this highly entertaining and universally appealing collection is the literary equivalent of a night out with your best friend—an unforgettable and fun adventure that you wish could last forever. Whether she’s experiencing lust-at-first-sight while in the airport security line, sharing her own views on love and marriage, admitting to being an introvert, or discovering her cross-fit instructor’s secret bad habit, Amy Schumer proves to be a bighearted, brave, and thoughtful storyteller that will leave you nodding your head in recognition, laughing out loud, and sobbing uncontrollably—but only because it’s over.

Editor's Note

Funny and extremely personal…

Feminist comedian Amy Schumer has written one of the funniest and well-loved memoirs of the past decade. Any fan needs to read this (and everybody else needs to read it to become a fan).

    An autobiography written differently. It gave me several emotions, sometimes at once. Mostly it was funny and honest, but also dull at times. It is good entertainment, but also more then just that.

    My favorite part of the book was the last chapter where she talks about how she doesn't care what people think and that she accepts how she looks and who she is, and that everyone else should do the same.

    Love Amy Schumer. Always raw and honest. Even if I don't completely approve of everything she says and does ya'll thats not the point! Weve got to stop beating women over the head anytime they do something you dont like. That's not what women are for ?! I love her confidence and humor. She's the type of chick I'd want to be friends with.

    Thank you Amy Schumer for saying you like the calamari with the legs and being so open and honest. This book has helped heal 29 years of a lot of pain and feeling very misunderstood and different. This book is like a therapy session you'll actually enjoy!

    This book made me see Amy in a whole new light. As was mentioned in the book, she contains multitudes. After reading this book I realized that I love her outlook on life and this book has helped me learn from her, things I never imagined she would teach. Her life is so much more than what you see in her stand-up. Great read!
