Review: Amusing, Light Read

I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my review.I won't lie, I asked to be a reviewer based on the name of this book alone - it made me giggle! The short stories in this book are amusing, yet sometimes very confusing. Ms. Tyrpak's foray back into the dating scene after her husband tells her that their marriage is over due to a part of her anatomy - I swear I spit sweet tea reading that - and consequent divorce made me glad that my own marriage is secure and in no jeopardy of breaking up.I didn't really see all of the stories as being stories, some of them read more like essays. The Christmas one - I think it's the third - had me laughing so hard I cried. But there's one towards the end that is so out of place, it just doesn't belong. Although, to be honest, I wanted to keep reading and find out who the people were and what their story was.I definitely recommend this book if you're having a bad day and want a good laugh. I was able to get through it in two hours, making it one of the lightest stories - and probably most humorous - I've read in a long time.
