Housebroken: Admissions of an Untidy Life by Laurie Notaro
4.0
This is the first book I have read by Laurie Notaro, and I was so glad I read it because she is absolutely hysterical. I laughed out loud more times than I can count. In Housebroken, Notaro covers a variety of issues women deal with today and also covers things like preparing for an apocalypse, Facebook, and living in Eugene, Oregon (which I am now dying to visit after all of her funny stories). She would make such an interesting friend or neighbor. My favorite essays were where her father unfriended her on Facebook, the one where she was deciding who to name to her Apocalypse Survival team, and the Waffle House essay where she describes taking her nephews to learn about all cross sections of humanity. Notaro also writes a fair amount on cooking and includes some wonderful Italian recipes. I definitely recommend this book. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
