review 1: I have seen Gina Barreca live twice this year and she is FUNNY! Very entertaining and tells it like it is – growing up in an Italian household, funny women stories of bonding, shopping and body issues and I could relate since as she starts off her session with what every woman wants to know – how old is she and how much does she weighs. Okay she’s just a few years old than me and a little heavier, but she’s also taller! That said I expected the book to be really funny. This collection of short stories on a variety of subject was entertaining, but also infused with women’s theory and more of a psychological aspect which her highlights her educational degrees. It’s a good read and entertaining – like many books with little short stories some are better tha... moren others. But overall a good short entertaining read.
review 2: I just heard about Gina Barreca from colleagues and am so happy to have discovered her work. She's an instant favorite for me with her wit, fast pace, laser wisdom and heart. Barreca and I are fifty-something women, simpatico in attitudes and experiences. I haven't laughed this hard since Ellen DeGeneres tried to read Fifty Shades of Gray for an audiobook. High points include Barreca's essays "How Much of a Crazy Astronaut Lady Are You?" and "Introduction to My Girlish Way of Looking at Things," and this quote: "You have to admit that life is a riot once you start paying attention." less
