NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER“I’ve changed a bit since high school. Back then I said no to using and selling drugs.  I washed on a normal basis and still had good credit.” Introducing Laurie Notaro,  the leader of the Idiot Girls’ Action-Adventure Club. Every day she fearlessly rises  from bed to defeat the evil machinations of dolts, dimwits, and creepy boyfriends—and  that’s before she even puts on a bra. For the past ten years, Notaro has been entertaining  Phoenix newspaper readers with her wildly amusing autobiographical exploits and unique  life experiences. She writes about a world of hourly-wage jobs that require absolutely  no skills, a mother who hands down judgments more forcefully than anyone seated on  the Supreme Court, horrific high school reunions, and hangovers that leave her surprised  that she woke up in the first place. The misadventures of Laurie and her fellow  Idiot Girls (“too cool to be in the Smart Group”) unfold in a world that everyone  will recognize but no one has ever described so hilariously. She delivers the goods:  life as we all know it.
