Bitter is the New Black

EXPERT REVIEW:
Jen Lancaster was living the sweet life-until real life kicked her to the curb. She had the perfect man, the perfect job-hell, she had the perfect life-and there was no reason to think it wouldn't last. Or maybe there was, but Jen Lancaster was too busy being manicured, pedicured, highlighted, and generally adored to notice. This is the smart-mouthed, soul-searching story of a woman trying to figure out what happens next when she's gone from six figures to unemployment checks and she stops to reconsider some of the less-than-rosy attitudes and values she thought she'd never have to answer for when times were good. Filled with caustic wit and unusual insight, it's a rollicking read as speedy and unpredictable as the trajectory of a burst balloon.

MY REVIEW:
This book is a laugh out loud memoir of possibly the most narcissistic person I have ever read about! Thru her narcissism she becomes endearing and you can help but cheer her on as she struggles thru really expensive life lessons! She is hilariously witty and there is absolutely NO FILTER as to what may come out of her mouth at any moment! You find yourself red with embarrassment for her and at other times you want to scream "You go girl!" This book is every bit as funny as it claims to be. Being in my very late 20's (actually almost 30) I still appreciated the humour and references to sorority living and drunken phone conversations! Great read for anyone who needs a good hearty laugh! I WILL be reading her other books. Read more sarcastic and witty writing on Jen Lancaster's website www.jennsylvania.com
