A Woman First: First Woman by Selina Meyer
2.0

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook as something mindless and lighthearted. I think it could’ve been shorter, but I’m not at all complaining about having more Selina and Gary content since I loved VEEP so much.

I feel odd even rating/reviewing this as an autobiography because it is fictional, but the parts about her as Vice President were awesome, and I didn’t enjoy the stories of her childhood or family history. (Gave it a 2 to remain consistent with my other ratings, even though I enjoyed the read).

The humor didn’t land as it does in the show, but Julia Louis Dreyfus is amazing as always. I appreciate that the writers kept up the storylines as a continuation from the show and made similar statements like the parody of token feminism, the “real” side of politics, etc.
