Title: Dates itself quickly
Review: I'm not generally a reader of the "modern sassy-girl telling various stories in an episodic format" genre. I bought this book about 4 years ago, and then lost it to the black hole that is my parents' storage when they moved while I was away at college.I just found it and decided to restart it.First of all, it seems a main problem with this genre seems to be how quickly the references and jokes become dated. That certainly is true with this book. There are several times where the jokes or references can instantly peg this book as having been written in 2003-2005, and no longer really are that funny.Second of all, though there were many genuinely funny parts, there were several times when it really felt like she was trying way way too hard to be funny, and those times it fell flat.This is not a genre I'll be seeking out at my local book store.
