    <![CDATA[When <em>Chelsea Handler</em> 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. <br/>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 <em>Private Benjamin,</em> 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. <em>Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea</em> showcases the candor and irresistible turns of phrase that have made her one of the freshest voices in comedy today.]]>

She probably wouldn't be the kindest of friends, unless you're a midget (or &quot;nugget&quot; as she calls &quot;little people&quot;), but definitely awesome to hang out with. Her stories were funny (thoug...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23281045">more...</a>]]></body>
