Bright Lights, Big Ass by Jen Lancaster

Lancaster is absolutely hilarious. This book will make you laugh so hard your belly aches. She is like your outrageous, spunky, sarcastic, witty best friend who drives you crazy. Lancaster tells is like it is, even if it means humiliating herself and her husband in the process. This book is full of many entertaining anecdotes and will keep you interested from beginning to end. Don't walk... run to your nearest bookstore (hopefully an independent one) and purchase a copy of this must read memoir. 

Grade: A

Synopsis 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.
