Bushnell wrote this book as a series of essays originally published for her column in the New York Observer. If you were a fan of the TV series, you will probably like this a great deal. She uses irony and tongue-in-cheek humor to pull the reader into the situations, and she personalizes the "friends" that she writes about. Personally, I found this disjointed and a bit distracting. However, I know other people have loved it... so it's available!
