[Elaine Meszaros · Rating 5 out of 5]

Notaro's books are the sort of books that I know I should slow down and save some for later, but it is just impossible. I zoomed through her collections of short, true, and embarrassing hilarious stories in a few days. Notaro chronicles her life of shame: meeting the man of her dreams (and promptly breaking his toe); going through grocery store dumpsters with her grandpa for day-olds; getting her teeth stuck in a candy apple in the bank drive-through and other mortifying events. She apologetically lays our her life for her readers to pick through, laugh at and sympathize. I wouldn't recommend reading her books in a public place, you will find yourself giggling quietly under your breath like a nutter. But then again, Laurie probably would too.

I loaded this up on all my reading devices with the plan that any times I might be stuck waiting somewhere, I’d read more of the selection to help pass my time. Well I passed all my time very quickly by plowing right through. This author hits every bright and humorous note I need to keep me entertained Now I will go try to find another similar title to take its place. I hope there are more by Laurie Notaro!
