EVERYTHING IS PERFECT WHEN YOU'RE A LIAR (Kelly Oxford) - July 6/13

This is very similar to the Jenny Lawson book in that it features many, many stories in which Oxford is impossibly quirky and sitcom-like, to the extent where it's impossible to care about her exploits. But I think this book is slightly better than Lawson's, if only for the surprisingly touching and down-to-earth chapter where Oxford works at an old folks home. And I have to admit I did chuckle a few times. (My favorite: Oxford describing her husband's reaction to a lap dance: "His head reemerges from the top of her breasts, like a horrified baby being born.") **1/2 out of ****
