This was my first Jen Lancaster book so I was not disappointed with comparisons of earlier work. You don't have to be the same age to have your own wardrobe parallels. Her memory lane of fashion is a hilarious ride from childhood, through teenage angst, to welcome-to-the-real-world-rent-paying-working woman. You don't have to be an ex-girl scout or sorority sister to enjoy this. If you've ever been imprisoned in the back seat of your parent's car, formal dress shopping with your Mom, or felt stupid at your first job you'll laugh as much as I did. Yo, Jen! Call me. We could SO be friends!
