Sloane Crosley's third book of humorous personal essays. The same wry sensibility and off-kilter etiquette of I Was Told There'd Be Cake and How Did You Get This Number now applied to the meatier issues of adulthood. It features Crosley chasing a woman in a wheelchair and getting a massage with an epileptic dog. These stories are all about picking over the past, keeping the best bits, and moving on. Be it hunting down kangaroos, being hypnotized by the Rear Window-style spectacle of youth displayed by her rich teenage neighbors, squinting down the barrel of the fertility gun, bonding with her porn-star uncle, playing herself on TV, crashing shivas, dealing with death and disease, befriending woodland weed dealers, or scaling active volcanoes, Crosley is your untrusty guide, who will help you see the absurdity of our world with fresh eyes. Sloane Crosley is a writer living in New York City. She is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair. In 2011, she appeared on the TV series Gossip Girl as herself.

American wit and humor.
