I really enjoyed this book. It was so unbelievable, it became believable (if that makes any sense). It really made me feel better about my life in some ways haha.
As I am reading this, the wheels are turing in my mind that I rented this movie at some point. The movie was gawd awful, and taking a look at the reviews here, this book may reveal the same trend. I will give it another 24 hours and if I can take it, otherwise off to the PaperBackSwap pond.7.21.20...
Despite the buzz that surrounded this memoir, I’d planned to skip it, but then someone left it on the book-share shelf at work. The book was indeed hilarious. I spent a lot of time either laughing, laughing out loud, or suppressing a laugh so my kids wouldn’t ask me again what was so funny (not a G-...

This was sooo not what I was expecting from this book. Based on (a) the movie previews and (b) the fact that it's recommended if you like Davide Sedaris; I thought it was going to be a lot lighter! The really weird thing is, however, that although the material is pretty heavy (really dysfunctiona...
Leo Tolstoy writes, “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”I’ve always read “happy families” in that quotation as meaning normal families, and assumed by its positioning that normal, happy families were more prevalent.
