"Laurie Notaro is like the sister I never (wanted) had: Hilarious, lovable, sarcastic, self-effacing and laser-like in her observation. Actually, I'm glad I'm not family, but blessed to be a huge fan." (Wade Rouse, author of IT'S ALL RELATIVE and AT LEAST IN THE CITY SOMEONE WOULD HEAR ME SCREAM)
"Whether she is writing or speaking about all things big and small, Laurie Notaro hits the bull's eye of emotion. Her storytelling is known to induce embarrasing fits of hysterical laughter as well as a-ha moments and even tears. She has the gift of celebrating life's imperfections in a way that makes us all relax and giggle. A lot!" (Kathy Cano-Murillo, author of WAKING UP IN THE LAND OF GLITTER)
"(Notaro) expands her worldview to include the full panoply of life's indignities. The result is screamingly funny." (USA Today)
"Hilarious...(Notaro) is Dave Barry with ovaries, filing bizare and frequently humiliating reports on Life on the Goofy Side." (Miami Herald)
Praise for There's a (Slight) Chance I Might Be Going to Hell
"[Notaro's] quirky humor, which she's previously showcased in her cult-classic essays on girly dorkdom, runs rampant." (Bust)
"Notaro is a natural comic, a graduate of the Jennifer Weiner school of self-deprecation, but she's the best when she's being nasty." (Houston Chronicle)
"In a world that shows us cosmos and stilettos, [Notaro] makes space for cupcakes and ass-kicking boots." (IndyWeek.com)

"A crazy, funny version of the afterlife." (Minneapolis Star-Tribune)
"Pure, unexpurgated Notaro... again [she] turns on the truth serum, and the results once more are riotously funny... Playful and light... Spooky Little Girl is a great summer beach read. The freshness it brings to a tired idea in chick lit- girl loses everything and exacts revenge by making herself over- is, well, refreshing." (San Antonio Express-News)
"An amazing story." (Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
"We're always thrilled to know that the prolific scribe of Autobiography of a Fat Bride: True Tales of a Pretend Adulthood and We Thought You Would Be Prettier: True Tales of the Dorkiest Girl Alive will crack us the you-know-what up with a new book just when we're casting about for something to read." (Phoenix New Times)
"Laurie Notaro is 100 percent a**hole."--Dan Cooper, creator of Fox News.
