Zoe is a wreck. She is a 27 year old receptionist in an S&M Dungeon and member of the informal "Idiot's Anonymous" support group, she struggles daily to keep herself from relapsing back to heroin, and she is surrounded by colorful and bizarre characters who struggle with their own addictions and unstable lives. Clearly, Zoe's story is not for everyone, as it is offensive and vulgar and sometimes, disgusting and disturbing. However, it is also extremely funny at times, and you have to laugh at how predictable the characters can be, as well as Zoe's chronic poor judgment. I'm not sure I can recommend this to many of my friends but for those who can find humor in addiction, sex, perversity, and an entire book filled with offensive language, this one may be for you! ( )

I have a first edition, straight from the author's closet! She was nice enough to send me a copy before she was able to get it reissued in 2003....LOVE it. ( )

I love this woman. Her descriptions and situations she gets herself into and tear-inducing, pants-wetting hilarious. A must read for any angry grrl. ( )
