Nothing but zits, flowers, and regret bloom overnight

I really love Iliza's comedy, and this was basically her stand up routine in a book. She gets to go in on girl logic and why it is that women act so "crazy." She's pivoted her comedy from mocking women to embracing that the expectations for women are what drive us to insanity, which works much better. There were plenty of times I was nodding along about how much she was hitting the nail on the head. Plus I laughed out loud quite a few times! I would definitely recommend getting this as an audiobook since you get Iliza's excellent voices and intonations. Honestly I don't think I would have enjoyed that much if I picked up the physical copy.

The biggest drawback is she doesn't really seem to ever truly define "girl logic" itself, just that it's all the instincts women have. IN fact most of girl logic seems to be tied to dating, although towards the end she talks a little bit about how it's influenced her career. And in talking about dating, her observations seem to reflect her life as a white, heterosexual woman, which she does briefly acknowledge. I mean she can't really speak from experience about being a lesbian or a woman of color, but its absence does make some of the advice one-dimensional. Basically, you can't dig too deep into this book because there's not much there beyond Iliza embellishing her standup.

If you've never heard of Iliza definitely watch her stand up before picking this up to get a taste of what her style and sense of humor is. Otherwise this book will not be for you.
