About this ebook

In these personal essays, the hilarious comedian and Chelsea Lately host reflects on family, love life, and the absurdities of adulthood with "cheeky candor" and signature wit (Philadelphia Inquirer).
Life doesn't get more hilarious than when Chelsea Handler takes aim with her irreverent wit. Who else would send all-staff emails to smoke out the dumbest people on her show? Now, in this new collection of original essays, the #1 bestselling author of Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea delivers one laugh-out-loud moment after another as she sets her sights on the ridiculous side of childhood, adulthood, and daughterhood.
Family moments are fair game, whether it's writing a report on Reaganomics to earn a Cabbage Patch doll, or teaching her father social graces by ordering him to stay indoors. It's open season on her love life, from playing a prank on her boyfriend (using a ravioli, a fake autopsy, and the Santa Monica pier) to adopting a dog so she can snuggle with someone who doesn't talk. And everyone better duck for cover when her beach vacation turns into matchmaking gone wild. Outrageously funny and deliciously wicked, Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang is good good good good!
Chelsea Handler on . . .

• Being unpopular: "My parents couldn't have been more unreasonable when it came to fads or clothes that weren't purchased at a pharmacy."
• Living with her boyfriend: "He's similar to a large toddler, the only difference being he doesn't cry when he wakes up."
• Appreciating her brother: "He's a certified public accountant, and I have a real life."
• Arm-wrestling a maid of honor: "It wasn't her strength that intimidated me. It was the starry way her eyes focused on me, like Mike Tyson getting ready to feed."

Ratings and reviews

I am a fan of her show and its nice to peek into her psyche. I still have ''Lies'' to read but I have to say ''Horizontal" is the best of her books so far. All of them have made me laugh out loud while reading.

Only problem I have with this book is that when buying it, it says it has 256 pages, yet when reading it, it says 92 pages. I paid $9 for a 92 page book. That's ridiculous. Something is wrong, and I have no where to report this problem!

I don't read too often but this book was so funny and good i could barely put it down!! Loved it!!
