I didn't enjoy this book as much as the ones penned by Chelsea herself. Hearing her friends, family and coworkers talk about her behavior makes Chelsea sound like a sociopath.

The same hilarious Chelsea Handler stories told from the perspective of her friends, family and dog. A little confusing to match people up with her previous books, because they all dropped the fake names she was using for them. I wish there would have been a little more narrative from Chelsea, but still very entertaining overall.

Not as enjoyable as Chelsea's own books, but interesting.

If there is one thing this book has taught me it is this: I do not nor do I ever want to be Chelsea Handler's friend.

This book was not actually written by Chelsea. Instead, each chapter is narrated by one of Chelsea's friends or family members and details the pranks Chelsea has played or the lies she has told. It's a clear sign of laziness on the part of both Chelsea and her publishers.

Some of these chapters are written by fellow comedians who manage to add a bit of funny into an otherwise boring book. None of these stories manage to display Chelsea in a positive light and will not help your view of Chelsea either. In fact, I strongly recommend that you do not read this book and instead pick up a Chelsea Handler book that is actually by Chelsea Handler.

If you're still not convinced, consider this: The last chapter is "written" by Chelsea's freaking dog.

I can't wait to read other books by her. This book had me laughing out loud, literally, in more than one parts. I really wished that I was friends with her (well, at some points....others not so much).

Of all Chelsea's books, I liked this one best. This one is told from the perspective of her friends, so it was much less vulgar than past books (particularly Horizontal Life). Every single bit of it is up-to-par with her humor, but told from the perspective of her closest friends and family, Chelsea seems more real, more funny, more loyal, more like someone I would want to be around.

Listened to this on audiobook while driving across the state. For the most part the stories were quite funny and the narrators good. There were a few spots that had me laughing aloud alone in my car (which is when you know it's good).
