Product Description
Here are more scathingly funny tales from the wild side! Laurie Notaro survived the debauched ride of her twenties and the bumpy road to matrimony. Now she’s ready to take on the thirtysomething years . . . and almost middle age has never been more hilarious.
Laurie is married, mortgaged, and now—miraculously—employed in the corporate world, discovering that bosses come in all shapes, sizes, and degrees of mental stability. After maxing out her last good credit card at Banana Republic, she’s dressed for success and ready to face the jungle: surviving feral, six-foot-plus Gretchen (“Three Thousand Faces of Eve”) before battling the overbearing, overstuffed (in way-too-small pants) new mom Suzzi, who ruthlessly cancels Laurie’s newspaper column and learns that payback can be a bitch. Laurie also explores the backstabbing world of preschoolers at a Halloween party, the X-rated madness of a family trip to Disneyland, and the pressure from her QVC-addicted mother and the rest of the world to reproduce. But while losing more friends to babies than to booze, she realizes there’s a plus side: at least for a couple of months she gets to be the thinner friend.
I Love Everybody (and Other Atrocious Lies) is Laurie Notaro at her deliciously quirky best. Can a woman prone to what her loved ones might term “meltdowns” (she considers them “Opportunities to Enlighten”) put a smile on her face and love everybody? Take a guess.

 Hilarious til the middle, 2009-01-02
This book was so funny in the first few pages I could read on Amazon that I bought it. The first few chapters were laugh out loud, crying funny. But...towards the middle I started to think she was mean. I know, I know. She is open about that from the beginning. But instead of being funny, it was a turn off. Petty. I would read it again but the first half is way better than the second half.

 Out right funny, 2008-12-21
Talk about finding a kindrid spirit - this book is awesome and will definitely make you realize that you are not a bad person for thinking people are crazy including check writers, men that wear hair pieces and most members of the PTA. Love this book - will buy a copy for all my friends.

 A Bit Much to be Truly Funny, 2008-10-17
For sarcastic drivel by a witty female, I prefer reading Jen Lancaster. This author seems to be attempting to pack too many metaphors and humorous blurbs into a sentence. I often felt like we needed to take a breath and were losing the point. End the sentence already. Less is sometimes more, especially when trying to make me chuckle. The many references to substance abuse were much in the style of Amy Sedaris. If you like that kind of thing.

A Must Read, 2008-05-20
I laughed till I cried. I have shared this book with my daughter and several friends. I like the fact that the chapters are short. I'm reading everything by Laurie Notaro I can get my hands on.
