Simply put ... HATED IT. All in caps. That's right, I said it! Laurie was trying too hard to be funny. After two chapters, I stopped reading. There was nothing entertaining about this book. And when you start off a book, try not to start it off with a frustrating character. Yucks all around.

Luckily, I got this book free from a friend, but, unfortunately, I can't get back the hours of my life it took to read it. It's a series of columns, which are really rants, by this woman who no one in their right mind would want to be friends with. Her sole goal in life seems to be to get "Stinkin' Drunk," of which she details the 12 levels. I guess if you never experienced your 20's or never had a gross, obnoxious, cynical friend who smoked and hated the "pretty girls," then maybe you'll enjoy this book. Everyone else, steer clear.

Another entry in the girl-who-didn't-quite-fit-in-growing-up chick lit category. Humorous in places, but it often seemed like she trying too hard to be outrageous while going for the laugh.

I was looking forward to this book as I had heard such great things about the author. Unfortunately, I could not even finish reading. I read about the first 5 or 6 chapters before I decided I had wasted enough time. The humor seemed contrived and juvenile. This just didn't work for me.

As always, Laurie Notaro has me smiling, smirking and laughing out loud.

This book is a great quick read. It's well written with a voice that I could relate to. I found myself laughing out loud many times. I recommend this book.
