Book Reviews of We Thought You Would Be Prettier: True Tales of the Dorkiest Girl Alive

Book Review: memory lapse
Summary: 3 Stars

I read this book some months ago and for the life of me I can't remember a word of it. From what I remember it is not too bad at all, but just not very memorable which is not a serious criticism. I can compare it to Bitter is the New Black by Jen Lancaster but Notaro is more likeable and while I can't remember all of Laurie's work I will be scarred forever by the arrogant self indulgent whining of Lancaster. They will clump these two authors together, but do yourself a favour and go for Notaro.
