Carrying around a Jen Lancaster book is like sticking a best friend in your purse. When you have to put on your filters to control the urge to blurt out your feelings about idiots, pick up this book instead... Jen does it for you. I read the first two books before starting this, but I also think it is a stand-alone memoir as well. I also think either you "get" Jen, or you don't. She makes plenty of snarky footnotes, ridicules any and everyone (including herself), and has a great time doing it. This is not a book that will help you lose weight, nor is it supposed to be. Personally, the timing on this was excellent. I am on a weight-loss program and working with a personal trainer, so when she gripes, I know I'm not the only one out there who feels like a victim of torture. Although I do a lot of my reading on my commute via public transportation, I unfortunately had to demote this book as an at-home-only read...because I embarrassed myself by bursting out into boisterous fits of laughter in public way too many times.
