I enjoyed the book alot. Hollis is a regular columnist in Creative Loafing, an indie newspaper serving Atlanta. Being in Atlanta quite a bit I was able to place myself in many of the places she mentions in the book. Funny, sarcastic, and sometimes heartbreaking. A good read.

i really wanted this book to be amazing and it just wasn't. was she funny, at times, yes. it was a quick and easy read but definitely not as funny as her title was.
i did love that she lived in so. cal and atlanta- my two favorite places. i knew all of the places she was talking about and that was great. she's also a flight attendant and i would've loved to have read some of those stories.
i'll still probably read her other stuff, but im in no rush.
