Contemporary Chick Lit | Fiction
In this raucous collection of true-life stories, actress and
comedian Chelsea Handler recounts her time spent in the
social trenches with that wild, strange, irresistible, and
often gratifying beast: the one-night stand. You've either done it or know someone who has: the one-night
stand, the familiar outcome of a night spent at a bar,
sometimes the sole payoff for your friend's irritating
wedding, or the only relief from a disastrous vacation.
Often embarrassing and uncomfortable, occasionally
outlandish, but most times just a necessary and irresistible
evil, the one-night stand is a social rite as old as sex
itself and as common as a bar stool. Enter Chelsea Handler. Gorgeous, sharp, and anything but
shy, Chelsea loves men and lots of them. My Horizontal Life
chronicles her romp through the different bedrooms of a
variety of suitors, a no-holds-barred account of what can
happen between a man and a sometimes very intoxicated,
outgoing woman during one night of passion. From her short
fling with a Vegas stripper to her even shorter dalliance
with a well-endowed little person, from her uncomfortable
tryst with a cruise ship performer to her misguided rebound
with a man who likes to play leather dress-up, Chelsea
recalls the highs and lows of her one-night stands with
hilarious honesty. Encouraged by her motley collection of
friends (aka: her partners in crime) but challenged by her
family members (who at times find themselves a surprise part
of the encounter), Chelsea hits bottom and bounces back,
unafraid to share the gritty details. My Horizontal Life is
one guilty pleasure you won't be ashamed to talk about in
the morning.
