Product Description:
In this raucous collection of true-life stories, actress and comedian Chelsea Handler recounts her time spent in the social trenches with that wild, strange, irresistible, and often gratifying beast: the one-night stand.
You've either done it or know someone who has: the one-night stand, the familiar outcome of a night spent at a bar, sometimes the sole payoff for your friend's irritating wedding, or the only relief from a disastrous vacation. Often embarrassing and uncomfortable, occasionally outlandish, but most times just a necessary and irresistible evil, the one-night stand is a social rite as old as sex itself and as common as a bar stool.
Enter Chelsea Handler. Gorgeous, sharp, and anything but shy, Chelsea loves men and lots of them. My Horizontal Life chronicles her romp through the different bedrooms of a variety of suitors, a no-holds-barred account of what can happen between a man and a sometimes very intoxicated, outgoing woman during one night of passion. From her short fling with a Vegas stripper to her even shorter dalliance with a well-endowed little person, from her uncomfortable tryst with a cruise ship performer to her misguided rebound with a man who likes to play leather dress-up, Chelsea recalls the highs and lows of her one-night stands with hilarious honesty. Encouraged by her motley collection of friends (aka: her partners in crime) but challenged by her family members (who at times find themselves a surprise part of the encounter), Chelsea hits bottom and bounces back, unafraid to share the gritty details. My Horizontal Life is one guilty pleasure you won't be ashamed to talk about in the morning.

Ms. Handler is basically a little blonde tramp from a wealthy family. No idea were the money comes from but they have a house on Martha's Vineyard and Chelsea always seems to have a car and plenty of money to enjoy lots of sex without actually doing anything. It must be nice going through life knowing your parents will always pay the bills. Stories and she get boring around page 130. She also is very proud of how much she drinks and all the naughty drugs she takes. It all goes to show that if you are pretty and have money people will think you have talent and give you even more money. She will turn out to be an burned out blonde nobody remembers, Very sad, not funny at all.

Chelsea is even funnier in her books than her show! You can tell she wrote it herself and she lets you hang out w/ her while you read along her hilarious & brutally honest adventures!

I am very satisfied with my order. As promised, the book came in pretty good condition. I received the book almost two weeks after ordering it, so it could have been faster. But, for the price, I was extremely satisfied.

This is a great book and any book she writes I recommend to get it. Laugh out loud funny.
