Helpful Score: 1

Meh. An attempt at a self deprecating, David Sedaris-like look back at "my crazy life" but the crude, in-your-face energy that apparently works on her show (and, I'm sure, her standup routine) just comes across as crass here. What I love about Sedaris's early books is how he reels you in almost like a co-conspirator; this book feels like you're at a family or sorority reunion (but not your fam or sorority) listening to strangers reminisce about people you don't know & events you weren't at. For me, it really wasn't funny or worth the evening I spent reading it.
