Notes on a Scandal [What Was She Thinking?]

What Was She Thinking
Zoë Heller

5 of 5 Stars

Anyone who has ever made disastrous romantic decisions, been betrayed or disappointed by a friend, or has ever had their reason overruled by emotion, will understand why I love this book. As a new teacher at a comprehensive school, Sheba Hart is in over her bourgeois head, and quickly head-over-heels for a 15-year old student. But this novel isn't just about a forbidden teacher-student affair. The real story is the relationship between Sheba and Barbara, the older and more experienced teacher, who is at once her savior and her Judas. Heller's examination of the female psyche and female relationships is accurate and compelling.

My Horizontal Life A Collection of One Night Stands

If you watch E! at all, you'll know Chelsea Handler. She has a show "Chelsea Lately" where she rips on celebrities. That said, this book is literally laugh out-loud funny. Chelsea recalls many of her extremely odd and note worthy one night stands. You will die realizing with each turn of the page how nuts she is. It's a great, easy, quick read. Plus, you'll feel like the perfect sober prude after reading about her debauchery and sexcapades.
