Living la vodka loca

This irreverent collection of essays, Are You There Vodka, It’s me Chelsea, depicts the wild life of Chelsea Handler and it will either shock you or make you laugh out loud (or maybe both!). Handler is a stand up comic/talk show host who usually spears pop culture with an acid wit.

In this book, Handler mostly makes fun of herself, her friends and her family and the strange situations she seems to find herself in. In one story for example, she finds that she has to pretend to be honeymooning with her father when he lies to the airline to get them upgraded. In another, she goes to extremes to convince her third grade class that she’ll we starring in the sequel to “Private Benjamin”.

If you like your comedy a bit risqué, you may like Handler’s bawdy look at life.
