Description
'Many people feel like a one-night stand is something to be ashamed or embarrassed of. I disagree...'
We've all (well not quite all, perhaps) had at least one: a one-night stand. 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... Lots of them. My Horizontal Life chronicles Chelsea's romps through the bedrooms of a host of potential suitors, uncovering what can happen in one night of passion between a man and a sometimes very intoxicated woman.
From her short fling with a Vegas stripper named Thunder to her even shorter fling with a very short man, she recalls her myriad one-night stands with hilarious honesty. My Horizontal Life is a sensationally frank and funny memoir of sexual life, and a gloriously quirky take on why we do the things we do. Whether you have been there yourself or not, its one guilty pleasure you won't be ashamed to talk about in the morning...

Reviews / Votes
If the name Chelsea Handler doesn't mean anything just yet, it will shortly. The girl's going to be huge... Has to be the funniest and most candid book about shagging ever written by a woman -- Henry Sutton * Daily Mirror * A rib-tickling affair that will leave you doubled up in no time... Do we love her tales! * OK! Magazine * Chelsea Handler is my new best friend - she writes like Judy Blume, if Judy Blume were into vodka, Ecstasy and sleeping with midgets and nineteen-year-olds. I laughed out loud and read parts to my husband, my best friend, and my Mom (which might have been a mistake). This book is no-holds-barred hilarious -- Jennifer Weiner In a word: hilarious. In two: absolutely hilarious. These are some of the funniest stories I have ever read... Chelsea Handler has perfect pitch -- Laura Zigman Enjoyably naughty sexual memoir of a New York-Jewish stand-up comedienne -- Laurence Phelan * Independent on Sunday * Hilarious... Frank, funny, and will have you laughing out loud * B * Handler is the leading light of Slapper Lit... We learn about Handler's past conquests: the stripper with romantic pretensions; the midget who proves more useful as a pillow; the under-endowed teetotaller; the closet gynaecologist. Handler works her way through the lot with gleeful abandon...the gorgeous blonde who has single handedly out-raunched Raunch Culture * The Observer * Hilarious * More! * Fascinating... Brutally honest * Star *More details
