You can be a Midwesterner who prefers salty snacks to chocolate who doesn't give a rip about Prada vs. Target and still enjoy this book (trust me; I know). You can't, however, have a weak stomach for crude humor. Thompson says this up front (though I didn't need the disclaimer to know what kind of content to expect), but some readers took issue with this anyway. I can laugh at anatomy humor (snicker) and fart jokes (snicker). If you can't, then yeah, you should probably move on.Still, I think this book has a little something everyone can laugh at. For me, the Streetcar Named Desire and Sesame Street bit was the funniest, but feel free to laugh at the pee-pee jokes, too.It took me awhile to understand the structure, but I got into it after a few chapters. The tone and style is written I think would be more conducive to an audiobook because there are a lot of spoken word cues in it, but I still enjoyed it for what it is - one woman's humorous interpretation of the world she lives in, peopled with dirty men, crabby women, and needy children. Read over the hash tags if you don't like em. I read over the partial word italicizing in The Catcher in the Rye.Kelly I. HitchcockAuthor ofThe Redheaded Stepchild
