In this raucous collection of true-life stories, actress and comedian Chelsea Handler recounts her time spent in the social trenches with that wild, strange, irresistible, and often gratifying beast: the one-night stand.
My thoughts:I originally shied away from this book because I thought it was only going to be about men Handler had slept with just once, I enjoyed the two other books I read so much that I decided to give it a try. It was just as funny to read as the other two and a lot of fun to read. While it does focus a lot on sex, that isn't the only thing it is about and a lot of it is funny moments before, during or after sex. Having the dog steal your panties, walking into an apartment that you know you've been to before but can't recall when, bringing your gay friend home for your sister's wedding and finding him misbehaving all over the place were all featured in these stories. I now wish I had read the books in order, this one jumps off into where she was in books two and three. They can all stand alone just fine, but it would have been nice to see her growing with the books instead of going backwards. That said, I think some of the stories from the later books come from this same time period. I like that Chelsea is fine with who she is and doesn't apologize for her behavior, if only we could all feel that confident in ourselves!

Hi Jill, I originally found your blog through a review you left of "Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang" on Barnes & Noble. I was wondering if you would consider my book for review as it tends to appeal to Chelsea's audience. If so I can send you more details.
