Summary Raised in Manhattan by her sex-therapist mother and her two eccentric grandparents, Wendy Spero has always sought excitement in "microthrills," the small, strange highs that give her life meaning. Her story begins in the one-bedroom, Upper East Side apartment she shared with her overly protective mother, where, as a little girl, she passed the time breaking up arguments between her imaginary friends. Eventually, Wendy broke out on her own. After a stint of door-to-door knife-selling, she began her first (and last) office job, where she formed a relationship with her big-time executive boss that involved as much pot smoking and gold glitter as it did mentoring. Now, a comedian living in L.A., Wendy grapples with such grown-up issues as trying to kick her addiction to eating candy in bed, parenting high-maintenance stuffed animals, and finally learning how to drive.--From publisher description.
