Product Details


THE EAGERLY AWAITED COLLECTION OF PERSONAL ESSAYS FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MY HORIZONTAL LIFE

When Chelsea Handler needs to get a few things off her chest, she appeals to a higher power -- vodka. You would too if you found out that your boyfriend was having an affair with a Peekapoo or if you had to pretend to be honeymooning with your father in order to upgrade to first class. Welcome to Chelsea's world -- a place where absurdity reigns supreme and a quick wit is the best line of defense.

In this hilarious, deliciously skewed collection, Chelsea mines her past for stories about her family, relationships, and career that are at once singular and ridiculous. Whether she's convincing her third-grade class that she has been tapped to play Goldie Hawn's daughter in the sequel to Private Benjamin, deciding to be more egalitarian by dating a redhead, or looking out for a foulmouthed, rum-swilling little person who looks just like her...only smaller, Chelsea has a knack for getting herself into the most outrageous situations. Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea showcases the candor and irresistible turns of phrase that have made her one of the freshest voices in comedy today.

Customer Reviews ::




I hate to give a review for a book I didn't finish, but... - Nathan Price -
I agree with almost all the other 2-star raters have written. I had debated about buying this book for awhile and then decided, what the hell, I'd like something funny. It didn't work out.

This book reads like a dry narrative, nothing real humorous about the thing. I gave it a go until about 1/2 the way through and then quit. I'd write a more witty review, but I think the book has left me uninspired. I wouldn't care so much, but laugh were promised, money was given, promise was unfulfilled. Rant finished.

Spend money on vodka instead.
