Her best is "Bitter is the New Black". She also wrote "Bright Lights, Big Ass" and "Such a Pretty Fat". The last one is definitely not her best but still had some laugh out loud moments. The similarities between the two women and their anecdote themes are quite astonishing - both write about their homes, neighbourhoods, pet peeves, long-suffering husbands, weight issues, over the top reactions to things and their dogs and families. I will definitely try some of Laurie Notaro's earlier stuff because I did find her enjoyable just thought her writing could use a little more polish.
