I ordered this book because David Sedaris wrote about how funny Willlett writes. Sorry to report it was disappointing. In fact, by the time I finished reading this book, I was pretty depressed! I had to read a Celia Rivenbark book to cheer me up. Willett's writing style was enjoyable, but her subject matters were real downers.
