I'm not sure why bitterness is a bad quality in writing. I found it bracing, rather than off putting. As others have said, Sloane Crosley's debut collection of essays has echoes of Sedaris and Vowell and the whole NPR/This American Life school of personal essays. Her piece on attending a high school friend's wedding, "You on a Stick," is the highlight. And, yes, she does address the inevitable "Ferris Bueller" question. Followed by "How Did You Get This Number."
