This book is laugh-out-loud, tears rolling down my face funny. Exactly what I was in need of. I have already gone out and purchased Bitter Is the New Black and plan to get her other two books as well. If you are need of a hilarious look at city-dwelling...this is the book for you. But be forewarned, do not eat or drink ANYTHING while reading this book unless you want to end up wearing it!

Not as funny as Bright Lights, Big Ass but I think, as this was her first book, she was trying to get the tone right. It gets much funnier towards the end. Can't wait to read her other two books.

Light and fluffy chick lit but well-written. I was engrossed by June's journey to complete the list and it's making me think I want to write a list of my own. I recommend it if you're in the mood for a fun and easy, yet somehow also thought provoking book.
