My Fair Lazy is not nearly as funny as Lancaster's previous books but I still enjoyed the read.
Lancaster's writing style and sense of humor is what makes her so successful and the "mean girl" you actually like.
She is no longer easy to relate too. You can get the being fat, unemployed and broke part but not that dropping 400 dollars on tea part.
This particular book felt a bit forced but I will remain faithful and read her next book.
Don't expect the Jen from the past because her cleverness and wit are tucked away in the pages on this memoir.
I also recommend that you not let this be the first Lancaster book you pick up or you won't feel the need to read her other, much more entertaining and hilarious ones.
Grade: B
Synopsis
(B&N)
Jen chronicles her efforts to achieve cultural enlightenment, with some hilarious missteps and genuine moments of inspiration along the way. And she does so by any means necessary: reading canonical literature, viewing classic films, attending the opera, researching artisan cheeses, and even enrolling in etiquette classes to improve her social graces.
