Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea

When Chelsea Handler needs to get a few things off her chest, she appeals to a higher power -- vodka. You would too if you found out that your boyfriend was having an affair with a Peekapoo or if you had to pretend to be honeymooning with your father in order to upgrade to first class. Welcome to Chelsea's world -- a place where absurdity reigns supreme and a quick wit is the best line of defense.

In this hilarious, deliciously skewed collection, Chelsea mines her past for stories about her family, relationships, and career that are at once singular and ridiculous. Whether she's convincing her third-grade class that she has been tapped to play Goldie Hawn's daughter in the sequel to Private Benjamin, deciding to be more egalitarian by dating a redhead, or looking out for a foulmouthed, rum-swilling little person who looks just like her...only smaller, Chelsea has a knack for getting herself into the most outrageous situations. Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea showcases the candor and irresistible turns of phrase that have made her one of the freshest voices in comedy today.

Fun Book to read

This is my first review! I am on chapter 6 and just want to say that this is a fun book to read

Hilarious

So I was taking a 13hour flight to Australia, and decided I'd pick up some reading material. I love Chelsea on "girls behaving badly" and so I bought her book. After I paid, I noticed that I had spent $26 dollars on it - the most I'd paid for a book up to this point was 7.99. I thought about turning around and returning it, but I didn't. And I am soo glad! I was literally laughing until I was crying in the airport. everyone was staring at me doubled over with giggles. The guy next to me asked me if he could read it after me, since it looked like I was having a such a good time.
Still, to this day, I laugh when I think about some of the experiences Chelsea writes about. She is hilarious. This book is worth every penny! :)

A good entertaining quick read, but not as good as her first book

My Horizontal Life is funnier, the stories are more hilarious, but this book is also a good one to laugh out loud at!

Soooo Funny!

When I read this book, I couldn't help but laugh out loud! Chelsea Handler is hilarious and her other book, "My Horizontal Life" is just as good! I can't wait to see more from her.
