It’s great when I get a book for free and like it, really, really like it. For those of you with a Kindle you can download this book for exactly $0.00 and it’s tagged chick-lit.
This is another funny entry in the Idiot Girl collection by Laurie Notaro. There are times when I was laughing so hard while in the doctor’s office that I know some people thought I was a little nuts.
In this collection Laurie (and her sainted husband) are on vacation when Laurie decides the family across the way are terrorists. Of course as usual she gets a little carried away. There are stories involving a criminal moving into her neighborhood, the travails of moving to a new home in another state, a tale of a backed up sewer line, and a surprisingly sad story involving the loss of a pet. Reading these stories is like hanging out with your slightly nuts girlfriend; you love her but wonder where the heck she gets these nutty ideas, but then she breaks out the margaritas and it’s all good.
