Product Description
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.

 Do NOT listen to any bad reviews!!!
OK, I've read some of the less than complimentary reviews & don't get it? This chick is soooo funny & if you are offended, you don't have a sense of humor about life! She gets away with printing things many have thought about but were too concerned about what others think to say it out loud. Some think she's obnoxious, have you READ the titles?? It's part of her own self admitted personality. Jeez, get a life, get the book & ENJOY. Good for all ages, but maybe best for those who have HAD A LIFE!

Jen Lancaster ROCKS!
Jen Lancaster says out loud what you think, but don't say. She's mean, and tells it like it is, and you've gotta love her for it! This book will make you laugh out loud as any woman can find bits of herself in this book.

Good read, but not as good as the first book.
I very much enjoy reading Jen Lancaster's books, she is witty and doesn't hold anything back. I often find myself laughing out loud on train and wishing my commute was longer just so I can read more. I did enjoy this book but I have to say that I enjoyed Bitter is the new black just a little bit more. Needless to say, I will be recommending these books to my friends.

Fabulous - funny from beginning to end! ( tobi237 )
I though this was a great second book for Jen - it was hilarious. I just want to be her friend...she writes just like I believe she would talk. A great read, hard to put down! Just what I needed.

Get in touch with your catty side! ( krisbeck )
If you're easily offended, skip this book. But if you love to listen to someone who is not afraid to express their opinions, no matter how crass and politically-incorrect, oh my gosh, Jen will make you laugh like nobody's business. You have to be in the mood for her. I recommend her after a dose of "Ugly Betty" or after you've picked up "People" Magazine at the dentist. I wish I had her guts! And Fletch, my love, you're my hero to be married to a strong, black (okay, sorority blonde) woman. : )
