I was pretty disappointed with this one. I listened to it on audiobook and I had high expectations as I like Chelsea Handler and this book was recommended to me, but I did not enjoy it. I forced myself to complete the second half of the book and while a few parts were funny, the story was all over the place. Not impressed.

Great stories about her family and friends. Loved hearing her read it.

I've seen Girls Behaving Badly and The Chelsea Handler Show, so I knew there would be some bad language and highly-inappropriate content/behavior. There were a few times I laughed out loud, but the majority of the book was not much more than a chuckle.
I found myself sympathizing with young Chelsea, but wanting to shake adult Chelsea to her senses.
She's very quick-witted and clever, but not as fun to read as, say, Jen Lancaster.
It was a quick read, but probably should have been done over a period of time, in smaller dosages (as my friend Robin pointed out).

Chelsea Handler is offensive and hilarious. I feel like we could be friends.

I have never seen Chelsea Handler's comedy act, and wasn't even aware she was on Girls Behaving Badly (which I've never seen) until my children saw her on the cover and explained who she was. I bought this book simply because the title reminded me a bit of Erma Bombeck, but with bite.
It was hilarious! I was literally laughing out loud, feeling guilty for doing so, and yet unable to stop! The humor is crass, but we've all had thoughts like these. The sections about her family were my favorites. Everyone has a crazy family, no matter who you are. I just wish I was funny enough to convey their hilarity to others.
