SubscribeKristin of Illinois returns (I believe this is her second time?) with her review of My Horizontal Life by Chelsea Handler.
This novel is fun. It won’t put you on the list for MENSA or teach you how to initiate world peace, but it is fun. My Horizontal Life is an “action” packed romp through other people’s bedrooms.
Chelsea Handler recounts her tales of one-night stands with zest. She is not embarrassed of the things she’s done or lies she’s told. And she’s told a lot of lies and gotten into a lot of trouble. It’s a fun glimpse into a party-girl lifestyle without the hangover.
Handler is relatable – reckless without being dangerous, blunt without being mean, and funny without edging to far into the ridiculous. A quick read, it’s great for a plane or the gym. Just don’t try to explain why you’re snorting out a laugh while doing your cardio….chances are your gym mates won’t think the genitalia joke is quite as funny without a little context.
This book is light, enjoyable and leaves you eager to find out where Handler goes from here.
Especially intriguing to me, as I’ve had a guilty curiosity about this book for some time now. Time to add it to the office pool so we get it in our next package. Thanks for the detailed review!
