Synopsis

Lauren Weedman's hilarious essays are like a compendium of what not to do as a fully-realized, functional adult. Her self-deprecating, confessional, and terribly funny voice finds a special place in the hearts of those who can relate to her—which, for better or worse, includes all of us. From the uproarious account of her time at the Daily Show, where she developed an entirely one-sided infatuation with Jon Stewart, to the time she read her boyfriend's diary with disastrous results, Lauren's work is filled with the wit, honesty, and personality that make for great personal writing.

Truthfully, she is not really whack.......more

Goodreads review by Ariel on October 26, 2007

Let me tell you people: Lauren is the funny. Like David Sedaris but even more neurotic, like a noodle bowl full of buttery tangled self-awareness, self-deprecation, and self-loathing. Lauren mines the creases of her life for the nasty comedic shmegma that collects between the rolls of adoption, divo......more

Goodreads review by Kurt on September 10, 2007

Move over Sarah Silverman, Margaret Cho, Amy Sedaris, Tina Fey, et al--this woman is funnier, and has more heart too. This is classic "comedy of embarrassment," but it's so much more than that.......more

Goodreads review by Whitney on November 25, 2019

This book was perfectly average. There were some parts that were incredibly annoying and some parts that made me laugh out loud. While there were some genuinely sweet parts, Weedman is a little too all over the place for me. She'll have a few chapters/essays about her relationship with her boyfriend......more

A quick hilarious read. Lots of cringe, uncomfortable humor so it’s not for everyone......more
