"Cooper, a recently ascended star having utilized the internet to
get famous with her pointed, withering, performance-based political
satire, possesses a direct and fierce comic voice, and in her
previous books, she took down cultural dinosaurs. Here, she
explores, thoroughly examines, and mocks herself, her past, and her
motivations and shows how you too can find your voice, comic or
otherwise, and use it to exorcise your demons." —Vulture
“[An] insightful memoir in which [Cooper] recounts her roller
coaster journey in Hollywood, in addition to stories about growing
up in an immigrant Jamaican family, her years working in tech and
her messy love life…the ups and down are depicted in Foolish with a
snappy, self-deprecating wit.” —Los Angeles Times
“The expert writer melds the personal, professional, and
embarrassing as she walks readers through all of it…all served with
a sense of honesty and humor, and readers will come away from the
memoir feeling a special kind of kinship with Cooper.”
—Shondaland
“The way Sarah Cooper describes her life before and after Trump is
a treasure, and her book is charming, funny, self-deprecating, and
a sure sign she will never need to lip-synch Trump again.
Unfortunate for us, but best for her.” —Air Mail
"From lip-synching in church to lip-synching the president (and all
the dad issues she collected along the way), Sarah Cooper reveals
her crazy life path in this touching and funny memoir." —Ebony
"With comic finesse and a self-awareness that is neither
aggrandizing nor deprecating, Cooper chronicles her experiences
from high school drama classes, to office conference rooms, to
TikTok glory and the doors it opened... A delightful
collection of essays that are both funny and revealing."
—Kirkus
