All Things Aside: Absolutely Correct Opinions by Iliza Shlesinger
Did not finish book. Stopped at 0%.

Didn't find this title very interesting or funny. I felt similarly about Amy Phoeler's memoir, but hers actually got interesting and had some humor. Also my borrowed library copy was returned automatically and I don't want to checki it out again.

There is a great story here but I feel like it wasn't presented well. All the story parts were great. I just couldn't get invested as much as I would have liked.
