Synopsis:
Hangovers. Bad boyfriends. Sucky jobs. Carbohydrate addiction. Dead bodies. Naked women. The truly spectacular, wondrous, and marvelously genius works of humor columnist Laurie Notaro will tickle you with fanciful delight, make you search your soul with profound reflection, and hopefully make you pee in your pants. If it doesn't, you can sell it to a used bookstore. But probably not.
Synopsis:
Introducing Laurie Notaro, the leader of the Idiot Girls' Action-Adventure Club. Every day she fearlessly rises from bed to defeat the evil machinations of dolts, dimwits, and creepy boyfriends-- and that's before she even puts on a bra.
For the past ten years, Notaro has been entertaining Phoenix newspaper readers with her wildly amusing autobiographical exploits and unique life experiences. She writes about a world of hourly-wage jobs that require absolutely no skills, a mother who hands down judgments more forcefully than anyone seated on the Supreme Court, horrific high school reunions, and hangovers that leave her surprised that she woke up in the first place.
The misadventures of Laurie and her fellow Idiot Girls ( too cool to be in the Smart Group ) unfold in a world that everyone will recognize but no one has ever described so hilariously. She delivers the goods: life as we all know it.

Outrageously funny. If you ride public transit every day (as I do), be prepared to embarrass yourself in Idiot-Girl style, because you'll be rolling off of your bus-seat every 10 minutes, overcome with side-splitting guffaws. Really. You'll get looks.

Laurie Notaro is a fantastically witty and hilarious writer. I could not put this book down and I could not stop laughing. This is definitely a must read!

This book is incredibly, impossibly laugh-out-loud funny. Nearly every story had me looking at my husband and saying "you HAVE to hear this one!" Notaro takes things which nearly every woman deals with (even if you don't smoke or drink excessively) and talks about them in a self-deprecating manner and leaves you nodding your head in agreement as tears stream down your face from the laughter. Her sarcasm is incredible and attains heights I could only dream of. Every aspect of her life provides something for her to write about, and much of this stuff, no one could make up. No one. I am heartily looking forward to reading the rest of the books in this series and to the new installment coming out in May.
