This is the smart-mouthed, soul- searching story of a woman trying to figure out what happens next when she's gone from six figures to unemployment checks and she stops to reconsider some of the less-than-rosy attitudes and values she thought she'd never have to answer for when times were good.©2006 Jen Lancaster; (P)2009 Penguin

Praise for Jen Lancaster

“Hilarious.”—InStyle

“A humorous and inspiring approach to navigating middle age.”—Booklist

“[A] hilarious and starkly honest memoir...Witty, bitingly funny, and even thought-provoking at times, I regret not one minute that I spent reading this book.”—The Book Chick

Mixed Review

I was conflicted between 3 and 4 stars. I liked it, and thought Jen Lancaster put together a great autobiographical story, but I often asked myself, "What is the point of this?" Or, "Why do I care?" On the other hand, I couldn't stop listening, and want to hear more from her. Because of that, I gave in with the 4 stars.

Funny

Entertaining for sure! One liners are funny and she says things we all think at times but would never say.

So hilarious I can’t explain it

I have never laughed this hard at any book, by myself, listening to this audio book. It is so funny it’s hard to describe. I love it and I want Jen Lancaster, in all her insanity, to be my bff.

Hilarious

I love Jen! Since this book has come out in 2016 I have listened to this book 3 or four times now and each time it is extremely funny!! I love her sense of humor, her style of writing and her blunt honesty about herself. She goes through a lot of growth in this book and it was beautiful to listen to . If you have a snarky, sarcastic sense of humor this book is for you!!

Loved it!

I loved this story. I have a long commute to and from work (300 miles a day) so I like to listen to audio books. I found myself wishing the drive was longer. I wanted to hear what was going to happen next. I loved Jen's sassy persona and I loved hearing how she went from materialistic to realistic. Age, unemployment, and marriage will do that to a person.
