Autobiography of a Fat Bride: True Tales of a Pretend Adulthood

by Laurie Notaro

ONE LINE SUMMARY: The author becomes Responsible, gets married, and owns a home in this series of humorous essays.

I enjoyed this book much more than The Idiot Girls’ Action-Adventure Club. Part of that may be because I have more in common with the Laurie of this time period than the smoking, drinking, carousing Laurie of the previous book. Or it may be because the timeline of these essays is easier to follow, and there is development with the succeeding essays. The essays deal with her finding Mr. Right, move on to her marrying Mr. Right, visit her purchasing a home, and end with Laurie getting used to kids like her nephew.

I laughed out loud in several spots.
