The author did a great job sustaining the voice, but honestly after a while I just wanted the narrator to die in a fire. A little bit one-note for me. Hard to believe that a 172-page book is too long, but that's how it felt. Read full review

Kind of a one-trick pony, but she did a good job with it and it was fun in a car-crash kind of way. Horrible narrator without a single redeeming feature, which is always worth reading. Read full review

Cute and funny, a nice summer read. Of course a large part of the humor stems from the narrator's utter self-absorption and unreliability. Read full review
