Book Report: Chelsea Lately-My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One Night Stands


If you're looking to laugh out loud while reading, read this.
If you're not afraid to get looks on the subway or LIRR when strangers glance at the title of your book, read this.
If you enjoy reading about hilarious stories involving late nights out, vodka and sex, read this.

Sometimes I enjoy a book that doesn't take too much thinking. A "beach read" in the winter is just perfect sometimes. I work a lot during the week so when I want to read, I sometimes want it to be light and not require much thinking. Chelsea's books are unbelievable and perfect for this type of reading session. Hilarious.

The book, as you may guess, chronicles her one night stands and encounters with men in her late twenties.

Some key quotes I particularly laughed out loud to, and a preview to what kind of book this is:
  • "There are two kinds of people I don't trust: people who don't drink and people who collect stickers."
  • "At some point during almost every romantic comedy, the female lead suddenly trips and falls, stumbling helplessly over something ridiculous like a leaf, and then some Matthew McConaughey type either whips around the corner just in the nick of time to save her or is clumsily pulled down along with her. That event predictably leads to the magical moment of their first kiss. Please. I fall ALL the time. You know who comes and gets me? The bouncer."
  • "It was Valentine's Day and I had spent the day in bed with my life partner, Ketel One."
