with that said I think this book will appeal to vapid sorority girls and very few others.
Having seen Chelsea and Heather do stand up in DC a while back I found Heather to be pretty funny.I thought her book would be equally funny. Unfortunately that was not the case. It seems she has had 20 years to hone her 20 min set of material which she has managed to do pretty well. The book however seems like it was slapped together in a weekend and reveals Heather to be a narcissist obsessed with finding a guy with afull head of hair who went to a good frat and has money.
The first 1/3 of the book was the worst.Unless you have been involved in Frat/Sorority life I think you will be turned off by the shallow, boring and a bit racist way that the author comes off in this part of the book.
The book could also have benefited from a good editor.At one point the author says she would "like to mall someone" in a sexual way.I think she meant to say "maul". Also later on she refers to Vanessa and Serena Williams instead of Venus and Serena Williams.
Overall as a gay man I found it hard to relate to this book at all not a problem I had when I read her boss Chelsea's books.If I met Heather in a bar I would run the other way after a few minutes of conversation which is too bad and not the impression I got from her stand up or appearances on the show.
All in all a pretty disappointing book.

Product Description:
"Can't a girl dress like a hooker, dance like a stripper, and kiss like a porn star and still be a nineteen-year-old virgin?"
You'll Never Blue Ball in This Town Again is the laugh-out-loud story of an attractive Los Angeles woman who found herself in the predicament of being an unwilling virgin. As an actress, writer, and stand-up comedienne, Heather McDonald passed up ample opportunities to have her V-card revoked by handsome, rich, and sometimes even fabulously famous men, but she could not bring herself to do "it" until well after her friends had been deflowered.
As Chelsea Handler so lovingly puts it, "Thank God Heather waited twenty-seven years to lose her virginity or she wouldn't have any material for this book." Whether in a backseat, a community pool, or a sports stadium, with a frat boy, a doctor, or an A-list celebrity, Heather McDonald knew how to turn those boys blue. Unlike "putting out," blue balling might not have paid her rent or landed her free trips to Hawaii, but it did provide her with hilarious stories and adventures in her search for true love-and, ultimately, her very own happy ending. Now, Heather McDonald will never blue ball in this town again.
