Genre: Non-Fiction/Essays/Humor
Review: This is a collection of essays the author put together to make light of life. She includes everything from cooking to talk show hosts, from reality television to elderly people and their bathroom breaks. She has no boundaries.
I found it to be very funny. I literally laughed out loud for most of the book. There was a lot of profanity and slang used in here. Some of the slang lost me. Ha! Yes, that's embarrassing but it did. I had to say things a couple of times or say them aloud to figure out what it was supposed to be. Also, there were a lot of jokes about television and I am not really a TV person, I am more of a book person (obviously). We don't even get any type of television in our house. The only thing we watch is Netflix so I was fairly lost on those topics. Yeah, that's embarrassing too. This would be fun for someone who is more into what's going in the world and doesn't mind the use of some profanity. The book wasn't completely engrossed in it but it was enough to make me uncomfortable but you can ask anyone I know and realize that it doesn't take much for that to happen. Overall, I enjoyed the book. I was just a bit lost for parts of it and cringed with the language but it was laugh out loud funny! :)
Author: She grew up in the country of North Carolina. After a few years of college she started working for the local newspaper and remained there for 8 years before moving on to bigger and better things. After 21 years she was married and pregnant and decided to stay home with her new baby girl. After about a year she began writing during nap time and has been doing it ever since. Her books are a collection of her columns.
Rating: *** Three Stars
