Sorry, I can't trust anyone that enjoys reading Ann Coulter. I'd almost want her to be my best friend, if not for her political leanings. She's one of those people that you love to laugh at, with and about. Jen Lancaster really recounts parts of her life in a hilarious fashion. This book was so funny I hurt myself laughing in several places. If David Sedaris was a grown-up sorority girl, this is the book he'd write. This book would make a wonderful introduction to the genre of Comedic Memoir for anyone - it's my favorite type of book, and this is one of the better ones I've read. Jen's writing style? With her question-answer-holy-shit-are-you-kidding series at the climax of her stories? A new kind of classic delivery derived from a sorority upbringing, I'm sure - and one that works very well with her material. it could end badly and be very embarrassing for you and those you live with.) (insider's tip: don't read this book if you have to pee, or if you have gas. The reader is taken through house-hunting, squirrel problems, psychotic neighbors, and a mass of temp jobs, all in the kind of upbeat, sarcastic tone that one would expect to tire of quickly.

Since reading, I have begun reading Jen's blog ( and have realized that this woman's not pretending (*cough*jamesfrey*cough*) - her life may not be the most exciting in the world, but damn, she's funny. Luckily, with these sorts of memoirs, it doesn't much matter if you read them out of order. I realized quickly (because it says so on the cover) that there was ANOTHER one of these books out there.a predecessor, if you will.but I decided to stick with what I had, and go grab the first book if I liked this one. I'm a little late to the Jen Lancaster party.I picked up this book from the 'New in Paperback!' section of Barnes and Noble on a whim one night when I was bored and desperately searching for something to read that I hadn't already perused a million times.
