From getting locked out of her flat twice on the same day and being fired for baking a giant cookie in the shape of her boss's head, to playing bridesmaid for a friend she'd long forgotten, Sloane Crosley can do no right, despite the best of intentions. With sharp, original and irresistible storytelling that confounds expectations at every turn, Crosley recounts her victories and catastrophes, finding uproarious comedy and genuine insights in the most unpredictable places.

Fun, but nothing special

Well-written and conversational, but nothing to write home about. The essays were good, but I wish there had been more tying them together. I didn't feel as though the organization of the individual essays was executed well, either.
