Life Will Be the Death of Me…And You, Too!

Life Will Be the Death of Me…And You, Too! By Chelsea Handler              Audio Book:  5 hrs., 25 mins        Hardback Book:  256 pages             

It seems the election of Donald Trump to the Presidency set Chelsea Handler off on a journey of anger and depression that led her to therapy which turned out to be the road to discovery and self-realization.      Chelsea takes the reader along with her from beginning to end with a lot of hilarious reveals about her own real life, family , friends, dogs, personal assistants and housekeepers as she works through her neurosis.   She finds out she doesn’t have any empathy for other people and wants to fix that.   She also reveals that while she hates Trump she has the hots for Special Counsel Robert Mueller (she has a thing for older men – up to 20 years older – she’s not sure she wants to go beyond that).   She knows he’s married but if he ever gets divorced…She loves “fluffy” dogs – they are great to cuddle with even if she does have to lift them up on her bed because they are so heavy they can’t jump up there by themselves.   She tends to see things from her own point of view but never the point of view of others, therapy has made her see that and she begins working on it once the realization is out there.   Really funny and Chelsea really goes bare bones in her honesty on her personal life.    Because she speaks “freely”  about all topics perhaps this one ought to remain with the adult crowd as she also liberally uses the vocabulary of a sailor.  J   I enjoyed it and if you like Chelsea Handler you will like this opening of the door to her life.   Well done, Chelsea.
