When I found out that this book wasn't actually written by Chelsea Handler, but by her friends and family, I was a bit disappointed. I figured it wouldn't be that funny, and would instead be filled with annoying sycophantic anecdotes. Well, I was right with respect to the anecdotes, but the stories were actually pretty funny (at times). As with all of Handler-related comedy, it sometimes crosses the line into extremely inappropriate, gross, or quite simply, annoying. But, this book was a great view into Handler's life - and the incredible generosity she has toward her friends and family, even if it comes with a huge price tag of needing to be constantly on your toes ready for yet another practical joke. I would think having a friend like this in your life would become tiresome quickly, but it also sounds like she regularly takes her friends on all expense paid trips to Cabo, so I suppose that might be worth putting up with all the shenanigans.
We may not brush our hair, change out of our pajamas, or sit down at the dining table, but we always make time to read.
