It turned out to be that, and terrifically funny to boot.The book is a collection of essays that include the musings of a twentysomething on life in New York City, travel in and out of the U.S., family pets, and other subjects. The author is quite simply an incredible writer. She manages to be witty, hip, current, and laugh-out-loud hilarious, with just a touch of sweetness thrown in. There are a number of subtle and overt pop-culture references that are hidden like Easter Eggs throughout the text, so I found myself reading a paragraph and having to go back and read it again to get at all the nuances within.The only minor problem with this book was a few instances where the sentences sort of started to wander off and I got a little lost in her thought process, but this was a small issue in my opinion.I realize that I am gushing so much in this review that I probably sound like a friend of Ms. Crosley's or a plant of some kind. I'm not, though I can now be counted as a fan. I can't recommend this book highly enough. It was just wonderful from start to finish. I'm going to buy her other book immediately! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A funny, quick read. *by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2010* Whatever you do, please don't call her the next David Sedaris. I loathe when people begin a sentence with "The next ... " and fill it in with some vapid cultural comparison because they don't want to actually put in the time for an original review. They prefer instead to use empty comparisons as filler. Sloane Crosley is a talented writer. A funny writer. An insightful, snarky, intelligent writer, but she is NOT David Sedaris. There is only one of those.With that said, I enjoyed her new book of essays, "How Did You Get This Number". She writes about a random assortment of events in her life, but without tones of pretense or self-absorption. She's critical and snarky, but doesn't try to be endearing, which I appreciate. I hate reading any sort of story where it feels as though someone forced an event in her life, knowing the end result would produce a witty essay. Get over yourself.My favorite essay in "How Did You Get This Number" comes at the very end, with "Off the Back of a Truck", when the author writes about a failing relationship and her adventures in semi-illegal furniture acquisitions. It's touching, smart and cute without beating you over the head with its intentions. She's a wonderful writer with a keen eye and I can't wait for her third book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Don't Worry About How You Got the Number, Just Dial On In ... *by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2010* I covet essay collections, and with this book Crosley delivers one that snaps, crackles and pops with the hilarious and strange, the I shitchu not and the heartachin' pieces of life.I'm unabashedly and ridiculously partial to those who bring the wry and witty repartee to everyday observations (i.e. stank taxis, the often incestuous nature of makin' friends & maybe mores in workplaces), but someone who experienced and exposed the agonizing anxiety of Girl Talk?! She essentially planted herself in a pot o' gold at the end of my Reading Rainbow with that mention alone."Off the Back of a Truck", "If You Sprinkle" and "An Abbreviated Gift of Tongues" compelled me to share this book with a friend with instructions to keep it swappin'. Her powers of observation are both subtle and supreme. The girl is funny and keen and sharp with the wordplay and this book is well worth the read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/21534181-how-did-you-get-this-number](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/21534181-how-did-you-get-this-number) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
