What a terrific book from a newly published author. Cindy Guidry tells great stories about her life, family and friends. Her stories have been optioned for HBO and I understand that she just finished the script for the pilot. I hope that it will become their new Sex and the City.

These stories, especially the family ones, remind me greatly of David Sedaris. They are funny and irreverant. I am glad that my mother went to hear Cindy speak in Houston and then called to tell me about it.

this woman writes exactly how my brain functions...every small detail or thought can become a whole new story line or drama. it's pretty funny actually. probably...i can relate to a lot of things she's dealing with in the book. has made me laugh quite often. i recommend it for women who just want to read something light hearted.

Fun read of a sarcastic, witty single women's thoughts on life and single-living in L.A. Her blunt relationships with men (plenty open talk about sex) and hilarious musings about her family relationships abound. Sort of a David Sedaris-type book. The author is from New Orleans which for me is another plus.

I just couldn't get into this book. I read about 4 chapters & stopped...the main character is whiny & I felt myself getting more and more annoyed as I read. I just didn't care about her or the other characters.

This is a wonderful book. Got it as an advanced copy. Don't normally read memoirs but this is a great book, a really fast read. I would recommend this to the ladies, especially the single ones..

Funny and at times insightful tales. It made me laugh. It made me reflect on my own life as a single woman. And at times it made me not feel so lonely and oddball.
