I think I enjoyed Southern Lady Code more, but this one was still really fun! Definitely go with the audiobook, hearing the author read it is worth it!

Some of the tidbits were cute (I especially love the essays on sex and getting older) but then a lot of them I just didn’t relate to much at all. I think she’s a good storyteller and it would be fun to grab a drink with her, but I guess I just wanted more from this one

I finished the book with the hope of it proving itself to be funny and having some merit.  I am not the audience meant for this book.  I found the author's "humor" to be crude and vulgar.

This is laugh out loud, wipe away tears, shake the mattress so much your spouse wakes up funny. I highlighted so many hilarious paragraphs on my Libby version that I had to buy the hardcover so I can highlight them with stickies and literally LOL again and again.

Very funny, I read it in two sittings. But one chapter was too much for my delicate sensibilities.
