How did you get this number, Sloane Crosley (2010)


Life in New York seems to be a favourite source of humour for U.S. comedians. In Crosley's second book (following up on her first title: "I Was Told There'd be Cake"), we meet up once again with her witty take on being poor in the city, on looking for apartments, the perils of stinky taxis, and other Manhatten joys.

We also get to travel abroad with Sloane to Portugal and France for more adventures with getting lost (a perennial theme for Sloane who has a temporal spatial deficit disorders that makes is impossible for her to follow a map), getting accultured and getting through customs safely.

This book is fun to read, a little slow in places, but overall very enjoyable.
