From Goodreads ~ Jen Lancaster hates to burst your happy little bubble, but life in the big city isn't all it's cracked up to be. Contrary to what you see on TV and in the movies, most urbanites aren't party-hopping in slinky dresses and strappy stilettos. But lucky for us, Lancaster knows how to make the life of the lower crust mercilessly funny and infinitely entertaining. Whether she's reporting rude neighbors to Homeland Security, harboring a crush on her grocery store clerk, or fighting-and losing-the Battle of the Stairmaster- Lancaster explores how silly, strange, and not-so-fabulous real city living can be. And if anyone doesn't like it, they can kiss her big, fat, pink, puffy down parka.
This is Lancaster's second book ... there are five in total (I've read the other four).
In this book, things are turning around for Jen and her husband, Fletch. Her first book, Bitter is the New Black, is just about to come out and she has to take temp jobs that she is overqualified for to survive.
Her sarcastic humour, which I enjoy, is there. I love reading about her interaction with her spoiled dogs and cats.
I must admit that I skipped over when she discussed politics ... I don't know and I don't care.
And her use of footnotes still irritates me.
All in all, though, I'd recommend this book if you are looking for a funny mindless memoir of no one famous.
