This book was amazing. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time, or identified with a protagonist so much. (Is it still a protagonist if it's a memoir? Someone google that for me real quick.) 
 I tried to recommend this book to friends and failed, and I apologize for that, Blogess. It's really hard to get someone to read a book by saying, "then her dad *giggles* threw the bobcat *hysterical laughter* in his lap *cries while laughing*". This is dumb, you should always read books about bob cat throwing dads. (Bob cat? Bobcat? I don't know. I'm from the suburbs.) 
 This book is not for you if you're easily offended or have no sense of humor, or think there are some things that just shouldn't be joked about. If you need a good book to just relax with, or to make you cry with laughter in public while strangers look on, then you should read this book. It's totally worth the public humiliation, and this is coming from someone who agrees that hiding in bathrooms is the thing to do when attending social functions. 
 In short, read this book. Now, please, and then come thank me when you're done. We can giggle about magic squirrels and inappropriate taxidermy collections. (See, you're hooked now, go get the book!)
