Chelsea Handler’s books span more than two decades of her career, from My Horizontal Life in 2004 through I’ll Have What She’s Having in 2025. Each one captures a different period of her life and career while maintaining the candid, comedic voice that made her famous.
The earlier books lean heavily into her personal life and dating experiences. Uganda Be Kidding Me, from 2014, shifts to travel writing, recounting her trips abroad with her typical lack of sentimentality. Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me is a departure – it was written by friends, family, and colleagues describing the ways she has deceived them, a concept that says a lot about Handler’s sense of humor about herself.
These books are not structured as a series with a continuing story, but reading them in order gives a clear picture of how Handler’s perspective and priorities have shifted over the years. Taken together they form an informal autobiography told through comedy.
