Hmm, Lisa Kogan works for Oprah Winfrey, has a marriage where she & her husband live on 2 different continents and this book does not reflect this level of excitement for me.
It's the small mundane things of her everyday life, which are interesting, but I want to know how the hell her marriage works!
People have compared her favorably to David Sedaris, Nora Ephron or Erma Bombeck. Way too high of praise in my opinion.
It's worth reading, but doesn't really stay with you or leave you wanting more.

Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys, Maupin, De La Cruz, Dolby
Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys is one of the books that I picked up after I found out that contributor Stacey Ballis is real life best friends with Jen Lancaster.
Different authors comment on the relationship between straight women and the gay men who are big parts of their lives.
I enjoy collections like this as a way to find new authors who I want to read more of and eliminate some who I don't. I really liked this book and it's compassionate take on what society is still asking questions about today.
I'd pick this one up, it's worth it!
