Product Description
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.

hilarious July 23, 2008 A friend of mine told me I just HAD to read this. I had no idea who Chelsea Handler was, but I trusted my friend would not recommend a ridiculous book. This is one of the most ridiculous books I've ever read, but I loved every minute of it. Hilarious!
Read it for my book club.... July 22, 2008 The book was an easy read...Finished it in a couple of hours... It was funny. Was I ROTF LMAO?... eh..Not realy..But ...it was pleasant and produced some giggles..
Hilarious! July 21, 2008 Never have I laughed aloud so much while reading a book. Full of good laughs and stories I can definitely relate to. This is a fun book to read.
Histerically Funny!! Laugh out Loud, a Must READ. July 15, 2008 This book made me laugh out loud.. its great, I would recommend to all who want to enjoy a good book. I just finished with "Are you there, vodka? Its Me, Chelsea" and found it not as funny but still good. Highly recommend both.. Can't wait for her next book.
Poorly Written July 15, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Skip this book. First of all, it's poorly written. Her stories take off on too many tangents. Secondly, after a while, I grew annoyed that each story was just about the same thing, over and over again. No growth, just one sloppy, drunk night after another with questionable men.
