The Best of Enemies by Jen Lancaster

The Best of Enemies is full of snark and loads of fun! I love all the 80s and 90s references and spent the better half of an afternoon laughing and really enjoying one of Jen's fictional novels.
This book has a bit of mystery to it and I think Jen has finally found her niche in fiction novels as this is her best one yet (I have loved all her non-fiction ones to date).  The Best of Enemies introduces us to some interesting, relatable characters. 

We have Jack, Kitty, Sarabeth, Teddy and Bobby. They are all connected through friendship of sorts and when Sarabeth's husband dies in a plane crash they are all reunited.

 Jack and Kitty are at odds with one another and have been for years - This plays out in past and present tense with Jack and Kitty giving their version of events.The back and forth dialogue and chapters is hilarious as you can easily see how interpretations can and do create chaos. 

This book is has laugh, plot twists and engaging characters. The story unfolds in a clever manner and will keep you up until the wee hours of the night!
