I loved this book purely for its title. Anytime there is cake is a good time in my book. But Sloan Crossley made me laugh out loud at her essays. Mostly biographical, Sloan talks about bridezillas; a Jewish girl at a Christian summer camp; being a lackluster volunteer; and purposely losing Oregon Trail so the character you named after your hated Algebra teacher dies of dysentery. (That is so awesome!) Sloan Crossley is not afraid to lay bare her less appealing character traits, and I was embarrassed to see myself in some of them. (I'm not telling which ones.) Embarrassed, but also amused and relieved that I am not the only one.
