Everything is Perfect When You're a Liar
Everything is Perfect When You're a Liar | Kelly Oxford
Everything in this book is true. The time Kelly peed her pants in the gas station. The time she stalked Leonardo DiCaprio through Los Angeles as a stoned teenager. The time she used her sons diaper explosion to get out of a speeding ticket. And especially the time she was convinced David Copperfield could read her mind. Kellys more than half a million Twitter followers already knew she was hilarious, and Everything Is Perfect When Youre a Liar has proven it, spending months on the bestseller list, earning her love from both reviewers and readers, and proving not only has she mastered the 140-character barb, but the long-form essay as well.* Kellys adventures are now in paperback, with a brand-new story about how she and her husband, James, got married to fulfill their sons desire to be a ring bearer. (But blew it, by forgetting a crucial detail.) From childhood to motherhood, from the zany to the tearjerking, Kelly covers it all and proves that when you live life unapologetically, theres no need to lie.

Mehso-so

🎧 I sped it up to 2X at the end. There are some funny/interesting anecdotes from when she was a teenager & then meeting David Copperfield but most of her adult life is kinda boring & her Star Wars play at 6 years old ZzZzZz & I love Sci-fi 🙄 Her fear of getting AIDs, the overuse of simplistic language & cursing for what seems solely like shock value made her come across as uneducated. Maybe I‘m just crabby or it‘s not my sense of humor. ⭐️⭐️1/2

AmyG I agree with you. Sometimes she is funny but alot of times not. 4y
Twainy @AmyG Disclaimer: I have no idea who she is and THAT may have impacted my review the most. Quite a bit was cringe-worthy but not funny so I guess you‘d have to have that sense of humor or have some context. She, her BF & their husbands go to a strip club in Vegas 🙄 that‘s when I sped it up. I won‘t be looking for more of that. 4y
AmyG I used to follow her on Twitter and she was very funny. Then she got a writing job in LA or something, wrote a screenplay for something or other. She stopped being funny after Twitter. 4y
Twainy @AmyG that explains a lot. I can‘t say the book stinks. There definitely is humor! Just maybe not totally my type of humor. Twitter. Interesting. I might take a peek. 😁 4y

Listened to the audio for this one and enjoyed it. Fun, light-hearted and perfect for an #audiowalk.

I laughed at some points in this book, but through most of it, I was honestly just annoyed. The author came across as really arrogant and self absorbed in an attempt to be funny and for the most part, I found myself at the end wondering what the point of her book was. As I came to the end, I just found myself not really liking the author too much.

I found myself in a thrift store the other day when my prescription wasn't quite ready. 😬

My #JulyFaves for #SizzlinSummerBooks Day 31 are #ConfessionsOfADomesticFailure by Bunmi Laditan and #EverythingisPerfectWhenYoureALiar by Kelly Oxford. I read the other two this month, but they weren't my favorites. See ratings above.

#EverythingisPerfectWhenYoureALiar hilariously covers Kelly Oxford's life from childhood to motherhood, from the zany to the tearjerking, and proves when you live life unapologetically, there‘s no need to lie.

Chrissis_Corner I think the book 'everything is perfect when you are a liar' sounds interesting. But who is Kelly Oxford? Sorry if it's a stupid question 🙈 7y
Jess7 Not a stupid question at all @Chrissis_Corner I didn't know who she was before this book either. According to the book she worked on movie sets as an assistant and then later became a script writer (which was her dream). I think she is most well-known for her tell-it-like-it-is funny tweets on twitter and blog. http://www.npr.org/books/titles/176341607/everything-is-perfect-when-youre-a-lia... 7y
Chrissis_Corner Thank you 😊 7y

Currently reading (listening to the audio book) #EverythingIsPerfectWhenYoureALiar by #KellyOxford 🤗 I had never heard of her before I started reading this book, but I'm hooked already. Highly recommend this book and plan to read her other book (featured on the right) next. #currentlyreading #audiobook #funny #twitter #tweets

This book was perfectly light and hilarious. It moved really well and it had me laughing pretty consistently. I love Kelly Oxford, so I'm glad I got to read this one. 🌟👏🏼 This crosses off letter 'O' on my #LitsyAtoZ list.

I had some down time at work and was able to start this up today. I've followed Kelly Oxford for awhile now and I've been anticipating reading this book. It's so so funny already 😂

ElizaTodd Also should mention this is letter 'O' on my #LitsyAtoZ list! 8y

I ordered more books that I needed for my #LitsyAtoZ list and I am SO excited to receive them 😱 Have any of you read these before? I'm especially excited for He Killed Them All because I LOVED The Jinx.

ReadingEnvy Loved A Little Life!! 8y
ElizaTodd @ReadingEnvy I've heard great things about it! How long did it take you to finish it? I know it's a thick one lol 8y
ReadingEnvy @ElizaTodd less time than what you would think because I could not put it down 8y
Loretta @ElizaTodd I read it in 4 days total (2 weekends separated by a week where I had too much work to be able to read it). It does have some issues but it's impossible to put down. 8y
