Autobiography of a Fat Bride : True Tales of a Pretend Adulthood

I wanted to like the writer's snarky, cynical tone, but I ultimately felt like she was trying too hard. Everything was fodder for a joke, and often the more crude and juvenile, the better.
Many of the essays' anecdotes seemed pointless, and were more self-indulgent and meant to garner an easy guffaw than anything else.
I'd skip this. Even for beach reading it's a little too pithy.
