The title is wonderful and the first chapter is laugh-out-loud funny, but I "abandoned ship" around page 100. I didn't care for the author's voice and, well, don't think I would like her if I met her. She repeats over and over again that she is an academic, yet her writing is somewhat crass. I don't blush at all upon four letter words and use them myself when emotion calls for it. I just felt that they were used for shock value (you wouldn't expect this from someone who was raised Mennonite). I just found it distracting and from her over all theme.
