Stefanie Wilder-Taylor has never been one to take the easy, conventional route. In her latest work It’s Not Me, It’s You, she unabashedly showcases a life well lived, ignoring all wisdom, but yet somehow, coming out on top. Combining her trademark biting wit and straightforward common sense, the anticipated comedic memoir delivers outrageous tales from all periods of her life and family history.

From Taylor’s outlook on working hard (audition for a game show instead) to getting her husband to propose (forget The Rules: try nagging and physical violence) these stories venture beyond daycare, sure to entertain both parents and non-parents alike.

Covering a wide range of topics that explore the anxiety, frustration, and exhaustion that accompany the rewarding, comical, awe-inspiring, and life-altering roles of parent, teenager, wife, and daughter, It’s Not Me, It’s You offers readers an escape, empathy, and plenty of laughs.

Funny, but only just.

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2011

Verified Purchase

I will admit that when I saw Chelsea Handler rave about this book, I knew I had to check it out. As a huge fan of hers, I thought it was only fair.

Now I will say this- Stefanie Wilder-Taylor is not really in the same league of humor that Ms. Handler is---she is funny, but only during certain points in the book. Her experiences were actually pretty interesting in themselves, without the humor involved. But all in all, a pretty decent book.

Lost Me... But Then Reeled Me Back In

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2014

Verified Purchase

Loved the start of this book, then she lost me around all the drug references, but by the end she had me reeled back in and I finished it with a big smile on my face. I found there was so much of this book that I could relate to as a single girl and as someone who really wasn't ever clear what direction their life was going to take.

Good for a few laughs.

not bad but not good

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2013

Verified Purchase

Others may like this book but I found the characters unlikeable and, frankly, strangely one note. The first chapters with there quick scene changes left me very confused as to how many characters we were talking about. It didn't help that I really didn't find anything vaguely interesting about the main character.

If you want a quick, lite read, this might be the ooh for you.

This book was hysterical and actually had me laughing out loud. Stephanie is honest, relateable and absolutely hilarious. I highly recommend this book.

Nothing Special

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2010

Verified Purchase

In the sarcastic drinking single woman genre of books, there are more offerings than you could ever read. Having been that woman at one time, I've read and/or own many of these tomes. I'm sorry to say that Stefanie Wilder-Taylor brings nothing special or new in this disjointed collection of stories from her past as an irresponsible and irrepressible young woman with daddy issues. She's right, is IS me. I want to like and root for her, but I don't. The writing is adequate, the storytelling fine. Wish I'd checked this out from the library instead of buying it.

What a load of drivel!

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2011

Verified Purchase

How did people give this 4 or 5 stars? This was the biggest load of drivel I've ever read. It's completely disjointed, poorly written, completely boring and trying too hard. Add to all that, the huge number of inaccuracies and impossibilities. (In 1986 you found your roommate on roommates.com? 1986!?!!? Yeah, I don't think so!!!) If I'd gotten this book for free, it still would have been a total rip-off. Someone should have to pay you to read this hunk of junk.

From the first sentence I was hooked. Each story was funny and sucked you right in. I recommend it to anyone who's looking for a well written book and is ready to laugh.
