If I were to put a title on this book, it would be We Though You Would Be Funnier. Most of the time I found Notaro to be more annoying than funny. I also felt that there were some parts that may have been funny to her or to those who experienced them with her, but didn't transfer well to someone who was not actually a part of things. I did really like the chapter on her and her husband hiding their book purchases from each other and the one about eBay was mostly funny. Of course, those are the two things that I have some experiences of my own. So maybe my analysis of it being funny if you've been in that situation - or a similar one - really is true. At least it was for me.
