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

I was 100% unfamiliar with her; had never seen her standup, never read a book of hers. Obviously the stories in here are exaggerated for effect, and while always entertained I was sometimes like, "Come on, this is SO exaggerated I can't even deal," but let me tell you, even if they were exaggerated, the "scenes" with her father (general stuff overall, trip to Costa Rica) were SO FUNNY that I was hardly able to breathe and needed a Kleenex, and my friends (who bought me the book!) thought I was losing it. I can honestly, honestly say that no BOOK has ever, ever, ever made me laugh like that in my 37 years. And being Jewish myself definitely helped.

This was a selection by my book club. I would have been better off drinking a fifth of vodka. The headache wouldn't have been as bad!

If at all possible, this book is more hilarious than her first! I laughed so hard through this book, i found myself in tears. I would get up before work and read and find myself stifling my laughter as to not wake everyone else in the house up. I can't wait for her to put out another and until then i will tivo Chelsea Lately. She is a fantastic comedian.

I can't write a decent review when my sides hurt from laughing...the only thing I can say is that while I enjoyed this book a great deal...my husband was not so thrilled by my hysterical laughter at 1 o'clock in the morning.

This book was very funny and almost as good as her first book . i would recommend this book to an Chelsea Handler fan.
