Book Review of The Broke Diaries : The Completely True and Hilarious Misadventures of a Good Girl Gone Broke

I found this book to be very dull. Instead of finding out why she's broke and what she's doing about it, she tells you that she baked a cake and that it caused her problems, or that the guy at the check cashing store freaked her out. Nothing made me laugh for the 70 pages into it that I read before giving up, and nothing except for her complaining that she had no money was about her being broke and how was recovering from it. I suggest reading Save Karyn: One shopaholic's journey to debt and back, that book was a heck of a lot funnier, had a story to it, and is true as well.
