In the movie this dude would probably be played by that scrote, Zack Braff.
I love how completely he seduces her in under a minute. Like, "Mike, buddy, I could fuck your girlfriend if I wanted to. I could fuck all the girlfriends."
Quick preemptive strike: 3 thinks about mental health and sex abuse which you should consider before commenting.
I just laughed myself to tears. omg.
The opening is good, but it could have used a little more cowbell.
So you talk about in-laws and puppy-kickers daily? That's rough.
Same! I have enjoyed Chelsea Handler's, and Tina Fey's books and am considering Mindy Kalings so this should come after that.
Ha, that's funny! I literally just finished reading a Stephen King book (On Writing) before reading Lena's book.
I completely agree. I really enjoy her work (though its sometimes painful because she really works to make her characters unlikeable but relatable and it's hard to admit you relate to a character so lacking) but here it seems it's the opposite. This was a well written review and I think I will read the book now,…

I think that she gets extra crap simply because there aren't enough strong female voices in entertainment*, so everyone freaks out because…
Yeah, there are legitimate criticisms of Lena. But the fact that people seem to think that she needs to address all problems facing all women is ludicrous. Yes, she's privileged. No shit. But instead of maybe constantly putting her down for that, we can instead have the conversation of why the stories of less…
But she does not represent the kind of girl I am or want to be, so how dare she have a voice? /sarcasm
After a few minutes, I returned to the table. The man ordered a hamburger.
This. Yes, it is possible to maintain your relationship/ your social life /your outside interests. BUT it will take more significant and sustained effort, and even so, some things will fall by the wayside. So you have prioritize the things in your life that are worth that effort, and be willing to let go of the…
