"Everything I'm Cracked Up to Be" is a book by Boston, Massachusetts-based musician Jen Trynin. The book chronicles her short career as a musician on Warner Bros. Records, from her start as an indie rock musician in Boston to her promotion of her album "Cockamamie" after its release on Warner Bros.

The book was released to generally strong reviews, with "Entertainment Weekly" giving it an A- ["Entertainment Weekly", Chris Willman, 11 Mar 2006] , and "Village Voice" critic Robert Christgau saying that the book "did for [him] what "Cockamamie" never did until [he] read her book--grabbed and held."
