I really liked Idiot Girl and the Flaming Tantrum of Death but found this first book of hers was not as funny. A lot of it probably has to be that she is closer to my age in the Tantrum and so I found the first one kind of juvenile - lots of getting hammered, puking etc. Not so funny to me anymore. In general though I still find her a pale imitation of Jen Lancaster who I think has a sharper wit particularly in her first one, Bitter is the New Black.
