Jen Lancaster

Notes

The description on the back of the book sounded so, so promising. But the inside of the book was just too full of bottom-feeder vocabulary. Seriously.

I actually read this entire thing and it gave me unparalleled rage. She was so whiny and obnoxious that there was NOTHING funny about it.

Then my returning the book has been justified twice over. Thanks for commenting.

Description edit

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.
