This book is HYSTERICAL. My cousin handed it to me during a plane ride while she finished up another book, and I am so thankful she did. This book contains countless stories about the not-so-talked-about one night stand. Chelsea Handler finds herself in so many uncomfortable and hysterical situations simply because she really likes men, and they seem to really like her!
She tells stories of being with men from all walks of life, from a male stripper in Las Vegas all the way to a little person in a hotel room. Handler is blunt and honest and leaves nothing out. She talks about her wild friends and her disapproving family. Her family knew of her lifestyle choices and had a lot to say about it, but she didn't really seem to care. Some of the stories are so out of the ordinary that you actually find yourself shaking your head and wondering how someone's life could actually be so comical.
What I loved about this book, was the brutal honesty. Handler told the stories that ended in a good way with as much passion as the ones that didn't. She wasn't trying to make herself look good or justify herself, she just told it how it was. One night stands are seemingly taboo in today's society, and she was still completely open about everything. Handler was not ashamed of herself and her stories… she was living the life she wanted, and she didn't need anyone's approval.
"My Horizontal Life" is a book I would recommend to anyone in need of a good laugh. It is a super quick read that will have you giggling and shaking your head in disbelief from cover to cover. If you enjoy genuine and honest humor, Chelsea Handler's "My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One Night Stands" will have you wanting more insane stories as soon as you finish.
