I picked this book up because I heard rave reviews about it on a few different blogs. I will admit there are laugh out loud moments and bittersweet moments which the author weaves together quite well, but I can't rave about it quite as much as some of the other reviewers. That isn't to say I didn't enjoy it; that isn't to say I wouldn't recommend it, but I hate to go in saying - THIS WAS THE FUNNIEST BOOK I EVER READ - because it wasn't. It was, however, worth a read. There are moments where Ferris' writing is more like a prose poem and I appreciate her easy to read writing style that is filled with honesty - no matter how painful that is sometimes.
