My Boyfriend Wrote a Book About Me: And Other Stories I Shouldn't… (edition 2011)

While this book was very funny in parts, it often felt almost too intimate and was a little uncomfortable to read. ( )

I just did not like this book. I really thought that the author would have a funny and interesting take on life. I guess I just don't get her sense of humor.

Where do I begin with this book? I guess the beginning will suffice. My friend handed me this book and said, “You need to read this. I have laughed non-stop throughout the whole thing.” And she was right!

Hilary dishes out the sad, the glad, the despicable, and the praises on all of her ex-boyfriends. She is completely honest (to a fault) in the book and she leaves out nothing. There were times when I was reading this that I thought, “I would never EVER tell anyone this. I could keep it a secret and lock it up really tight. So tight, that I wouldn’t even remember that it happened to me.” An example would be how she broke her vagina.

I laughed so hard sometimes at her stories and then I cried so hard sometimes at the others. She writes about a life that I would honestly think could only happen in someone’s imagination; but she has lived it.

I applaud Hilary for being so forthcoming in her honesty and her wit.
