Description:
EveryoneÕs favorite Idiot Girl, Laurie Notaro, is just trying to find the right fit, whether itÕs in the adorable blouse that looks charming on the mannequin but leaves her in a literal bind or in her neighborhood after sheÕs shamefully exposed at a holiday party by delivering a low-quality rendition of ÒJingle Bells.Ó Notaro makes misstep after riotous misstep as she shares tales of marriage and family, including stories about the dog-bark translator that deciphers NotaroÕs and her husbandÕs own ÒwoofsÓ a little too accurately, the emails from her mother with ÒFWDÓ in the subject line (Òwhich in email code means Forecasting World DestructionÓ), and the dead-of-night shopping sprees and Devil DogÐdevouring monkeyshines of a creature known as ÒAmbien Laurie.Ó At every turn, NotaroÕs pluck and irresistible candor set the New York Times bestselling author on a journey thatÕs laugh-out-loud funny and utterly unforgettable.
