Help Wanted, Desperately


I just finished reading the book Help Wanted, Desperately by Ariel Horn. There was a part near the end where Alexa, the main character, is applying for a job as a deodorant sniffer. I was laughing so hard I started crying. When I was done with the book, my husband swiped it off my night stand saying that he "wants to laugh too."
If you like chick lit like Meg Cabot and Cara Lockwood, you need to read this book. It is the light and fluffy story of a girl, Alexa, who is about to graduate from college and can't get a job. The plot follows Alexa through a series of hilarious job interviews where she embarrasses herself and makes the reader laugh. In the classic chick lit style, our heroine finds her way and gets the guy.
This is one of the funniest books I have read in a long, long time. It was published in 2004, but isn't in any way dated if you read it now. I even found the first chapter online for you to read!

Then click on over to amazon or your local library and get this book.
Life is too short for bad or serious books.
Help Wanted, Desperately is a flat out good read.
