Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea Review
This book was brash, trashy, and completely inappropriate. And I loved every single minute of it! I love Chelsea Handler! While I've never watched Girls Behaving Badly, I have watched her on Chelsea Lately and most of the time, I could care less about the guests just because she is so hilarious. So, I decided to pick up Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea. I was a bit apprehensive about how her comedy would translate onto the written word, but I needn't worry. Within the second page, I was trying to hold in my laughter at the bus stop.
This book was just so incredibly hilarious! Chelsea Handler says every rude thing we always think, but aren't actually rude enough to say. Kudos to her for actually having the courage to say it. This is definitely not for the easily offended as it's racy and sometimes brash. But it's endlessly entertaining. It does seem disjointed here and there as Handler goes back and forth between her timelines, but it was so funny that I really didn't care. I definitely recommend this book if you're looking for a hilarious and breezy read. I NEED to find a copy of My Horizontal Life like yesterday.

Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea Overview
In My Horizontal Life, actress and stand-up comedian Chelsea Handler boldly recounted her one-night stands-the good, the bad, and the disastrous. In this wickedly honest new work, she casts the net wider with even funnier results, recalling the most noteworthy highs and lows of her life to date--including her efforts to diversify by dating red-haired men, her obsession with midgets, and the dog-sitting interlude in which her boyfriend became overly familiar with a Peekapoo.
Whether it's a vacation with her dad during which he tells airline staff they're a honeymoon couple in order to get an upgrade, or her elaborate attempts to convince her third-grade classmates that she's starring in a Private Benjamin sequel, Chelsea lets it rip in these relentlessly entertaining essays. Displaying the candor and irresistible turn of phrase that have earned her a recurring stint as a correspondent on The Tonight Show as well as her own E! series, Chelsea Lately, this deliciously skewed collection is a guilty pleasure.

Funniest Book I've Ever Read - Sarah -
I have read a ton of scandalous books, starting with Tucker Max and finally making my way to Chelsea Handler. I have to say, I literally hyperventilated while reading this book. It was one of the funniest things I have ever read. I can't wait to read more of her books.
Funny as always. - Hurricane-D -
Chelsea Handler never fails to crack me up.
I really enjoyed reading this book while floating on a raft in my pool, drinking vodka and avoiding my textbooks. If you're looking for a quick and entertaining read, this is your book.

Chelsea Handler has had quite a life, and lucky for us, she is willing to share some of her stories in Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea. In this mixture of memoir and humor, stand-up comedian Handler tells stories of her life. Stories about of the men she's dated - including the guy who got a little too much enjoyment out of helping her on a dog-sitting job. Stories about her father, who quite clearly has led her to drink. And many other stories that will have you cracking up.
Chelsea Handler's previous book was My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands, so it's clear she's a pretty raunchy author and will definitely offend some readers. But I found Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea laugh-out-loud funny. Literally. I got a lot of strange looks from my husband as I laughed along to this book. If you're a fan of Chelsea Handler's standup comedy, or her old show Girls Behaving Badly, you will definitely enjoy this book. And if you're looking for an easy, funny and quick read, I definitely recommend it...as long as you don't get offended very easily.
