We Thought You Would be Prettier: True Tales of the Dorkiest Girl Alive

With an bonus performance of, “Autobiography of a Fat Bride”.

Normally I try to write separate entries for all the books I review, but I’m making an exception this time and I’m clumping together two books by Laurie Notaro, We Thought You Would Be Prettier:True Tales of the Dorkiest Girl Alive and Autobiography of a Fat Bride.  I’ve written about Notaro’s other books before, and as always, these were excellent.  Funny, cynical, sarcastic, and self-deprecating, Notaro makes everyday life seem hysterical. I’ve been quite spoiled because there were already four titles by Laurie Notaro available by the time I found them, so I’ve been able to gobble them up, one after another, like a really great box of chocolates.  Or potato chips.  Or chocolate-covered potato chips.  I’m now going to have to learn some patience though, because Notaro’s fifth book, An Idiot Girl’s Christmas : True Tales from the Top of the Naughty List won’t be released until November.  I’ve already pre-ordered it, and I’m counting the days smile
