"I like you"

"I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence" by Amy Sedaris.

I have mixed feelings for anything by Amy Sedaris. On one level, she is smart and observant. She has creative ideas. I want to say she's eloquent, but that's not the right word. Instead I have to say always gets the right meaning across even if her character is a simpleton.

But, she rarely makes me laugh. I smile at times, but the laughs are sparse. That's deadly if you are comedienne. Perhaps her comedy is too niche for me.

This book is no different.
