Pamela Trowel is single in New York City, and her ad sales job is as mundane as her love life is macabre; Alby, a liar and exhibitionist, shows up in the most unexpected places, and unfortunate moments; her creepy, masochistic boss Daniel falls for her in an obsessive way; Bronc, a rich playboy takes her to see sex shows involving pigs. Her options aren't exactly appetizing -- and then Abdul follows her home from a pizza parlor.Abdul is a clever urchin who adopts Pamela as his makeshift show more mother, and the two of them leave Manhattan, slipping away from their problems to embark on a hilarious adventure.

As Pamela sinks deeper into her new role of a man who knows how to listen to women, she becomes wildly popular -- until her deception begins to unravel.... show lessTags

I read this in 2005. This is overall a hilarious book, with moments that make you want to shake your head or maybe cry. The main character Pamela gets herself into some of the most absurd predicaments - her boss who she is having a very minor affair with, has to hide in the ceiling of the ladies' bathroom in order to prevent them being found out by his wife. If that isn't bad enough, Pamela manages to mildly electrocute several people during the same episode. I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would, based on comments that it isn't as good as Slaves of New York. Now I have to dig out my copy of that.
I don't remember too much about this book -- I think it was weird, black humor. Just "OK"
