I read the whole thing (more out of stubborness than enjoyment) and there were some genuine chuckles that came out, but I was pretty let-down by this one. It feels like Notaro is just trying too hard to be funny. We get it - you're the dorkiest girl alive. Pity and disgust aren't emotions that comedic books are supposed to evoke. If I wanted to spend two hours listening to a crazy fat girl b**ch about the things that drive her crazy, I could just hang out with my old room-mate. At least she would have bought me a martini for my time.
