I Was Told There Would Be Cake

Sloane Crosby is the author of I Was Told There Would Be Cake. This book is a collection of her essays about her life living in New York and her family, her roommates, and her friends. One story I found to be particularly funny was about a friend from high school to whom Sloane had not talked to in over 15 years. The friend calls her up, announces she is engaged, and invites Sloane to be a bridesmaid. Sloane reluctantly agrees even though she dislikes weddings. The bride to be starts calling every day taking up too much time and making more and more crazy requests that Sloane has a hard time refusing. The author is funny. She is not "David Sedaris" funny but she is funny.
