I barely made it past the first chapter. The writing was well...horrible. I don't think I have ever read a book that felt quiet so disconnected. I felt like I was reading a essay from a teenager turned in last minute freshman year. I would not recommend. I really enjoyed this book was light, fun and easy to read. The author may not be what everyone likes to read about, she drinks and she smokes. Big no nos in todays' society it seems. But still was very funny. She tells about a trip to her gyno where she has helpers trying to find the missing speculum. Or explaining the Bill Clinton scandal to her grandmother who mishears it as "Moral Sex." Also time in a department store as a bra lady or seeing naked people in the locker room at the gym. Sometimes I found myself laughing out loud despite those around me looking at me like I was crazy. no reviews | add a review
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "I've changed a bit since high school. Back then I said no to using and selling drugs. I washed on a normal basis and still had good credit." Introducing Laurie Notaro, the leader of the Idiot Girls' Action-Adventure Club. Every day she fearlessly rises from bed to defeat the evil machinations of dolts, dimwits, and creepy boyfriends--and that's before she even puts on a bra. For the past ten years, Notaro has been entertaining Phoenix newspaper readers with her wildly amusing autobiographical exploits and unique life experiences. She writes about a world of hourly-wage jobs that require absolutely no skills, a mother who hands down judgments more forcefully than anyone seated on the Supreme Court, horrific high school reunions, and hangovers that leave her surprised that she woke up in the first place. The misadventures of Laurie and her fellow Idiot Girls ("too cool to be in the Smart Group") unfold in a world that everyone will recognize but no one has ever described so hilariously. She delivers the goods: life as we all know it. No library descriptions found.
