Publisher Description
Welcome to Chelsea Handler's world—a place where absurdity reigns supreme and a quick wit is the best line of defense.
When Chelsea Handler needs to get a few things off her chest, she appeals to a higher power—vodka. Seems reasonable, when considering that she discovered her boyfriend was having an affair with a Peekapoo and she had to pretend to be honeymooning with her father in order to upgrade to first class.
In this highly entertaining, deliciously skewed collection, Chelsea mines her past for stories about her family, relationships, and career that are at once singular and ridiculous. Whether she’s convincing her third-grade class that she has been chosen to play Goldie Hawn’s daughter in the sequel to Private Benjamin, deciding to be more egalitarian by dating a redhead, or looking out for a foulmouthed, rum-swilling little person who looks just like her...only smaller, Chelsea has a knack for getting herself into the most outrageous situations. Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea showcases the candor and irresistible turns of phrase that have made her one of the freshest voices in comedy today.

"I brought this book with me on my 12-day honeymoon and finished it in one day. Oops. The writing is pure Chelsea, and it's laugh-out-loud funny, not to mention awkward and gross with lots of 'i can't believe she did that' moments. I recommend reading it on a beach, with a mai tai. "

Quotes
-
“Chelsea Handler is a terrific comedian and a hilarious writer.”
— Jay Leno -
Chelsea Handler writes like Judy Blume, if Judy Blume were into vodka, Ecstasy, and sleeping with midgets and nineteen-year-olds." -- Jennifer Weiner, bestselling author of In Her Shoes
-
Ms. Handler's style is a friendlier, more workaday version of the haughty self-abasement practiced by Sarah Silverman, leavened by the everywoman spirit of Kathy Griffin...She seems like a cruel queen bee from an expensive college: There's something suspiciously sophisticated about how her jokes line up that suggests the moral austerity of a comic not of [Joan] Rivers's bad-girl school: Tina Fey." -- New York Times
-
Where have I been all of Chelsea Handler's life? I had no idea how funny, how brilliant she is. She is too clever for words." -- Liz Smith, New York Post

“This memoir, which might be best described as a stand-up comedy extravaganza, describes Chelsea’s life above and between the sheets...Nonstop, outrageous humor.”
— Barnes & Noble editorial review -
“A hilarious book...In this collection of essays on relationships, family life, and her own adventures, she is both charming and brutally honest...Handler is brilliant at her craft of comedy.”

Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea Listener Reviews

" Chelsea is hilarious and creative. I'd never heard of her until someone let me borrow this to read over vacation an I laughed through the whole thing. It may not be for everyone but I enjoyed it. "
— Katie, 2/9/2014 -
" While it isn't my first choice in books, it is really enjoyable and funny and careless. While I think it wouldn't qualify as a memoir, which, if I'm not mistaken, is how she classifies it, it really captures the gist of her life. It could have been edited better, since there are a lot of divergences when it comes to her attempts of making a joke or two, but overall, really funny. She's a funny woman. "
— Camila, 2/8/2014 -
" She is hilariously inappropriate. I wouldn't recommend this to my mother ;) "
— Anne-paige, 1/30/2014 -
" I laughed out loud when I read this politically incorrect book in public places and didn't care. "
— Jane, 1/26/2014 -
" This book was amusing. I never heard of this woman before but I just enjoyed this very light, no brains required book. This is a great poolside read. It keeps you in a good mood, there is nothing daunting or depressing about it. "
— Nena, 1/23/2014 -
" Very funny. All her books are hysterical. Highly recommend them "
— Caren, 1/15/2014 -
" Hilarious and easy, fun read "
— Jessica, 1/15/2014 -
" The few funny moments in this book were overshadowed by copious amounts of rape jokes, racism, classism, etc. It's too bad, because maybe Chelsea Handler could be funny if she didn't rely on gimmicky non-PC humor. "
— LJ, 1/11/2014 -
" I didn't find this book as funny as My Horizontal Life. I found Chelsea to be too self absorbed and not all that funny. "
— Jaimee, 1/7/2014 -
" Laugh out loud funny! I read this on honeymoon and its a great beach read! "
— Katherine, 1/7/2014 -
" It's exactly what you might expect from Chelsea Handler. It's an entertaining read. "
— Connie, 1/7/2014 -
" Not quite as hilarious as I expected. Some parts were dragging and remotely interesting, yet even the best parts are so-so funny, not LOL funny. I really believe Chelsea failed to deliver on this one. "
— Nonito, 12/21/2013 -
" Great stories, definitely a fun read. "
— Lacey, 12/15/2013 -
" I laughed out loud reading this - super funny. Also loved how she went to Santa Teresa, Costa Rica- where I was this summer! Great to hear her stories about the place. "
— Jessica, 12/12/2013 -
" I really need to stop buying comedians memoirs at small domestic airports. I think Chelsea would appreciate that review for the most part. But my favorite story was the birthday of the "30" year old. I laughed as soon as she told me it was contagious! "
— Adrian, 12/10/2013 -
" Add an extra 1/2 star because I love Chelsea Handler. A funny beach read. "

" Before I read this book I had seen chelsea's show before and I had an idea of what to expect. But after reading her book I absolutely loved Chelsea that much more. She's funny and doesn't hold anything back. Most importantly, she's a jersey girl just like me. "
— Isabel, 11/10/2013 -
" This is a hilarious book. The best story is when Chelsea talks about her father and the clothes he wears. This is a good read to have when you need a laugh and want to feel good! "
— Alissa, 11/9/2013 -

— Katie, 6/23/2011 -
" Decently funny and a very quick read. Good for a 2-3 hour flight, I think. "
— Lesley, 6/22/2011
