Title: On par with her first book!
Review: Following up her second set of essays,Autobiography of a Fat Bride: True Tales of a Pretend Adulthood, Notaro has found a nice rhythm for her essay collections. This is a funny collection - with some genuine, burst into loud laughter sections. "The Sims" essay in particular stands out. This collection, though, touches on some personal issues, giving the collection a more memoir-feel as Notaro discusses her choice to not have children, her first book deal. Her second book, though it does deal with some family issues, stays on a more superficial level. After three collections of essays, some of the jokes begin to border on redundant, too. This is definitely a fun read, but I am hoping that her fourth book will return to a more light-hearted and funny feel.
