My Inappropriate Life

Some Material Not Suitable for Small Children, Nuns, or Mature Adults

De: Heather McDonald

Narrado por: Heather McDonald

In her hilarious New York Times best seller You’ll Never Blue Ball in This Town Again, Heather McDonald recounted her adventures as an unwilling virgin in Hollywood. Now happily married with three wonderful kids, she shows that life as a grown-up - even a pretend grown-up - has its challenges. Heather’s a working mom with parents who live next door, a sister who keeps asking for one of her still-fertile eggs, and friends who are up to more hijinks than even Heather can handle.

This self-proclaimed "Real Housewife of Woodland Hills" is determined to achieve A-list status (thus expanding her entourage beyond her three school-aged children and a house-husband who is infuriatingly bad at collecting neighborhood gossip) and defeat (or at least be accepted by) the mean neighborhood moms who judge her for taking her kids to a stripper pool party in Vegas. It’s a lot to juggle when she’s also battling her Chelsea Lately coworkers for the crudest and most elaborate practical jokes (don’t ask her about that "free" Vera Wang dress).

Just as laugh-out-loud funny and irreverent in her storytelling as she is on camera as Chelsea Handler’s partner-in-crime, in My Inappropriate Life Heather recounts her misadventures with a disarming candor all her own.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Most moms that you work with come to your desk uninvited and start showing you photos or telling you boring stories about their kids.... Not Heather McDonald. Instead she shows me photos of her new pool." (Jen Kirkman, author of I Can Barely Take Care of Myself)

"I don’t know any other person who can tell me they are ‘over trees’, mean it, make me laugh about it, and at the same time make me wonder if perhaps I am, too." (Sarah Colonna, author of Life as I Blow It)

laugh and then laugh some more

A collection of Heather's funniest tales of existing as a thirsty writer back in the Chelsea days. I laughed so hard at so many stories. This is an excellent and relaxing listen.

Funny

It was lighthearted and humorous....I enjoyed the sarcasm it was a nice break from the serious!

Pretty Fun Listen!

Would you listen to My Inappropriate Life again? Why?

I might. It made me laugh out loud. I especially liked the Facebook story. Pretty darn hilarious.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I wasn't ready for it to end. I felt like I was losing a really super cool friend.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yeah, I listened to it in 2 days.

Any additional comments?

As much as she tried to make Chelsea Handler look good I really don't think I would be able to tolerate her. I don't care how many trips she paid for her staff, she seems like she thinks she is way more important than she actually is.

I really liked the part where someone said it was totally fine that her son prefers the Ipad to actual writing. Every kid is different and it seems like at least a few people in her life are giving her sound advice.

GREAT LISTEN!

Loved this “book”! Hearing Heather tell her story makes the book so much better! She’s a delight!

Ehhhhh?....

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I did recommended it to a friend who reminds me of Heather.

What didn’t you like about Heather McDonald’s performance?

The sound of her voice

Was My Inappropriate Life worth the listening time?

Ehhhhh.

Appropriately Funny

Being as I never read Heather McDonald's first book, she definitely became note-worthy after reading this book. No longer is she the girl from Chelsea Lately but she is Heather McDonald - you know the Heather McDonald who snapped on her son for overreacting to her crumbling warm-fresh-out-of-the-oven cookies. That Heather.

Great read. It isn't overly funny - but what makes it appropriately funny is how relatable she and her stories are. Must read her first book asap now!

My Inappropriate Life

The stories are funny! The book wasn't read all that well. Not for the money paid for the audio book. When you make a mistake while reading for the listener and your being paid to do so why not correct the mistake? Other than that the book was what I expected. Would recommend it to a fan.

Entertaining

Heather’s impressions are hilarious. Enjoyable listen!
Highly recommend to Juicy Scoopers & anyone else who likes to laugh.

An Interesting, Entertaining Story

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I couldn't stop listening to it. It was filled with entertaining stories and was well written.

Any additional comments?

It's too bad it wasn't longer.

terrible narration

I had to stop listening about half way through. it sounds like she's reading this book for the first time.
