Helpful Score: 1
I read Bright Lights after reading Bitter is the New Black and Such a Pretty Fat. For some reason that I can't quite put into words, I liked the other two just a wee bit more. But really, that's splitting hairs as--if I could find a way--I'd make Jen Lancaster be my new best friend. And no, it isn't necessary to read them in order. In the PBS world that's not always possible, hence my reading them out of chronological order. But I had a few "Ohhhh, now I get it" moments reading this one. Nothing that made me cranky or anything.
Anyway, I just can't gush enough about Jen's ability to write what we're thinking or wishing we could say, but writing it with infinitely more wit and sarcasm. She has really got it. I cannot wait for her next book, Pretty in Plaid. Because she seems to imply that having books on the NY Times Bestseller list does not make one filthy rich, I just may have to actually buy the next one.
