Title: Not what I expected
Review: I purchased this book because it was listed in Amazon's section of other books purchased by people who purchased books by Laurie Notaro (a truly funny chick lit author). I found my way to Notaro's books in a similar search for what people who read Sedaris purchased.At the start of the book I thought the main character was a caricature who was mostly oblivious but still in on the joke with the readers. When I realized that the book is truly a memoir and I figured out that the author's picture is in fact a picture of herself from her wedding day as described in the book, it just made me feel sad. Going through life on a daily basis with that much disdain and dislike for those around you would be miserable.Had I been expecting that, rather than what I had hoped would be a funny riff on a stereotype, I may have been better prepared to enjoy it or likely not have read it at all.
