A series of autobiographical short stories a la Chelsea Handler and Mindy Kaling, Has Anyone Seen My Pants? is funny, warm and sincere.Similar to Handler's book about one night stands, Colonna writes about being single in her mid-30s.
Colonna's book stands out from others due to its earnest voice. Her stories include mention of her Arkansas roots and include sweet adventures like going to a Luke Bryan concert with her Mom.
She portrays dating in the 21st century, meeting flings and boyfriends via Twitter and having an entire relationship play out in texts.
The stories feel like Colonna is sharing them with a friend. I felt that Handler was trying too hard to be shocking and explicit while Kaling was trying too hard to be funny and cute.
Colonna's last story about meeting her NFL boyfriend, now her husband, is almost too good, or fairy-talesque, to be true, which makes her collection of stories even sweeter.
