Although it's a sequel to "Bitter is the New Black" I read this one first, and am glad I did so. It's the more approachable, for lack of a better term, of the two; you won't miss much of the couple's previous history, if that's a concern.

This book was a last minute addition to the tote bag for my trip to Scotland. I'm always afraid I will get stuck on an extremely long plane ride (and going to Scotland definitely counts as LONG) with crappy books. This book completely took that fear away. Let's just say that I nearly missed boarding my connecting flight in Newark, NJ because I was so engrossed in this book. I couldn't put it down. I loved the author's sarcastic wit and humor throughout the whole book.
I've never read this author before and I am so glad I found this one and will be hunting for all of her books.

I thought Bitter is the New Black (her first book) was better. This was a little harder for me to like, and seemed a bit more obnoxious.

I completely loved this book, just as much as Bitter. I found Jen to be as sharp and funny as ever, and the story was engaging - even without the struggle of being jobless that made her human in the first book. If you enjoy sarcasm and wit from an outspoken girlfriend, you will likely enjoy this memoir.

I loved this book. Jen Lancaster says things that everyone of us thinks and would like to say. Fantastic read
