A fun little book. Crosley has a great voice all her own, though I wasn't so sure of that in the beginning. She won me over pretty quickly during the first story. She needs to grow a bit as a writer and I'd love to see her family more fully fleshed out. They seem mere caricatures in this book. But overall a fun summer read that you can finish pretty quickly.

She was getting on my nerves ( )

Funny but not brilliant. These essays showcase the authors personality. Some people will love that personality and other like me, aren't going to be great fans. Passable entertainment, with a few moments of insight. Some of the metaphors are fresh, but the humour or the point of view did not particularly blow me away. ( )

Surprisingly I knew who Sloane Crosley was before I read this. Weird right? Anyway I usually enjoy essays and memoirs I just couldn't completely get behind Crosley's humor. Everything that happened seemed over emphasized and funnier than it really should have been. I know authors tend to over-embellish when they write non-fiction humor but I felt like Crosley went one step over.

I did find her essay on her first horrible boss humorous as, it was something we can all relate to, but after that we seem to loose touch with each other on things to connect on. Maybe because I never lived in New York so I did not understand the hustle and bustle. Either way, this was not a bad book at all, it just honestly seemed like I read it all before. ( )

This has something to do with postfeminism. I'm pretty sure. Infinitely better than Eat Pray Love. She is a bad postfeminist. I think this chick is good at it. But its also just like young lady's David Sedaris. A delightful read, yes. ( )
