This collection of essays was really funny, but I had a hard time relating to the author and her experiences. Older readers may enjoy this title more, as they will be more familiar with the topics Ellis writes about. I did give Bring Your Baggage and Don't Pack Light three stars because I could appreciate the author's sense of humor and read it all in one sitting. Obviously, the book was a good read because if it wasn't I would not have read it all at once.
