About this ebook
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Everyoneâs favorite Idiot Girl, Laurie Notaro, is just trying to find the right fit, whether itâs in the adorable blouse that looks charming on the mannequin but leaves her in a literal bind or in her neighborhood after sheâs shamefully exposed at a holiday party by delivering a low-quality rendition of âJingle Bells.â Notaro makes misstep after riotous misstep as she shares tales of marriage and family, including stories about the dog-bark translator that deciphers Notaroâs and her husbandâs own âwoofsâ a little too accurately, the emails from her mother with âFWDâ in the subject line (âwhich in email code means Forecasting World Destructionâ), and the dead-of-night shopping sprees and Devil Dogâdevouring monkeyshines of a creature known as âAmbien Laurie.â At every turn, Notaroâs pluck and irresistible candor set the New York Times bestselling author on a journey thatâs laugh-out-loud funny and utterly unforgettable.

Ohh. I still have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard as I read the last two chapter's. I love Laurie's 'tell it like it is' style. She's as blunt as I am and as a 'non licked rat' kinda girl, I dig her writing style đđđđ
