Fairly enjoyable, but I expected it to be funnier and better written.

Another hilarious book by Chelsea, which introduces us to her crazy life, friends and family. The one thing I didn't like about this audiobook was that Chelsea didn't read it and the reader was kind of boring. But otherwise, the stories were outrageous and just as funny as the ones in the two books that follow this one.

In this raucous collection of true-life stories, 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.

This compilation of Chelsea's escapades was hilarious, like had me literally laughing out loud on a plane! Her humor is just on point and I love how she tells stories.

I can't believe how much I disliked this. I can't believe how much disgust I felt towards Chelsea and literally every other person in the book. 
I'm all for sexual liberty and feminism, don't get me wrong. And one-night stands are certainly nothing bad. But what Handler was talking about wasn't a healthy relationship towards any of these things. She was often deceptive and a straight up compulsive liar with the people she ended up being intimate with for no apparent reason what so ever. 
Reading this was nasty, to say the least, and I can't believe I actually finished it, because it was DNF worthy. 
And now watch me as I don't pick up anything else by her ever again. I love celebrity memoirs, but I need a break from them after this. 
Also, was there supposed to be humour in this? Because I saw none.

I’m definitely hit or miss when it comes to audiobooks. I went into this book having never heard of Chelsea Handler before, I was intrigued by the title of the book.

It was hilarious!!! She was blunt, honest, and didn’t hold back. I love that she is not ashamed of her past and embraces it wholeheartedly. I definitely want to learn more about her now.

Only read this book if you are interested in the antics of a totally sleazy young woman who has absolutely no respect for other people, especially men. Sorry, but this book was totally in bad taste.
