Helpful Score: 2


What a bummer this was. I love Jen's memoirs and blogging, but it just didn't translate to fiction. The episodes she recreates in her memoirs are funny because it's hard to believe they actually happened. The episodes in this novel aren't funny because it's hard to believe they could happen. The punch lines are redundant and the gags don't work. Disappointing and dull.
