Bitter is The New Black By Jennifer Lancaster



Goodreads Summary:
This is the story of how a haughty former sorority girl went from having a household income of almost a quarter-million dollars to being evicted from a ghetto apartment...

My thoughts:
I am pretty sure that Jen Lancaster is my new best friend. Okay, not really, but I think she is pretty awesome. I loved this book. I dug her insight and lack there of. While reading this book I felt like I was hanging out with a richer less emotionally intelligent version of myself. I love me some designer clothes and the SHOES oh the shoes how I love thee.
I have read some seriously negative reviews of this book. I will say that Jen's narrative is definitely not for everyone. I think she appeals to a specific type of personality. I would not recommend this book to just anyone. She has the snotty bitchy attitude that a lot of women in my generation have. We feel entitled to a lot and when our expectations inevitably fall short we don't always handle it the best way but in the end we figure it out.

While writing this review I was listening to the snow melt from the first storm of the season.
