Product Description
THE EAGERLY AWAITED COLLECTION OF PERSONAL ESSAYS FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MY HORIZONTAL LIFEWhen Chelsea Handler 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. 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 Private Benjamin, 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. Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea showcases the candor and irresistible turns of phrase that have made her one of the freshest voices in comedy today.

 Super funny January 8, 2009
I only bought this book because I was flying to South America and I needed to read something during my flight. It was laugh out loud funny. I couldn't put it down. Chelsea is absolutely amazing!!! I lent this book to my friends and family and they all LOVE it! Can't wait for her next book. Definitely recommend it :0)
 Laughed until breathless...sometimes January 7, 2009
I was 100% unfamiliar with her; had never seen her standup, never read a book of hers. Obviously the stories in here are exaggerated for effect, and while always entertained I was sometimes like, "Come on, this is SO exaggerated I can't even deal," but let me tell you, even if they were exaggerated, the "scenes" with her father (general stuff overall, trip to Costa Rica) were SO FUNNY that I was hardly able to breathe and needed a Kleenex, and my friends (who bought me the book!) thought I was losing it. I can honestly, honestly say that no BOOK has ever, ever, ever made me laugh like that in my 37 years. And being Jewish myself definitely helped.
 Ugh January 4, 2009
This was a selection by my book club. I would have been better off drinking a fifth of vodka. The headache wouldn't have been as bad!
Even funnier than the first January 4, 2009
If at all possible, this book is more hilarious than her first! I laughed so hard through this book, i found myself in tears. I would get up before work and read and find myself stifling my laughter as to not wake everyone else in the house up. I can't wait for her to put out another and until then i will tivo Chelsea Lately. She is a fantastic comedian.
Have tissue and/or TP nearby when you read this... December 31, 2008

I can't write a decent review when my sides hurt from laughing...the only thing I can say is that while I enjoyed this book a great deal...my husband was not so thrilled by my hysterical laughter at 1 o'clock in the morning.
