Bitter is Back in Style
Imagine getting laid off from a glamorous, six-figure job, having to change your entire lifestyle drastically, getting screwed out of one new prospect after the next, then really sticking-it-to-the-man by getting your memoir about the whole ordeal published. Apparently, that's what happened to Bitter is the New Black author Jen Lancaster. The result: a hilarious book (if you like sarcasm and mean people) that I am really glad I picked up when I was in the middle of bum-fu**-Georgia looking at colleges in January with my daughter. Anyhoo, I loved loved loved this book. It's chick-lit-ish, but if you're not crazy about that genre, you might like it anyway. It's one of the few books that almost all of my friends have read, and we all agreed it was fab.
