"My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands" By Chelsea Handler

213 pages

This book is exactly what it claims to be: a collection of essays about various one-night stands. I'd heard a lot about Chelsea Handler but never read anything she'd written or seen her show...and I wish I had stayed that way. I guess I expected that there would be some kind of revelation or meaning derived from all of the encounters described here, but I didn't get a sense of that at all. I did laugh a time or two at Chelsea's antics, but mostly I just shook my head. I feel like she's trying to prove that her lifestyle is empowering, but she just came off as obnoxious to me.
