Bitter is the New Black

Jen Lancaster, I have nothing in common with you. But you're pretty hilarious. In a twisted, oh how I hated girls like you in high school kind of a way. The book is subtitled "Or why you should never carry a Prada bag to the unemployment office". Sage advice, ladies.
This unlikely book grew out of a blog done by an unemployed ex-V.P. of marketing and sales who is (well, was), by her own admission, and complete egomaniacal, selfish bitch. She sails through her charmed life, maxing out credit cards and squishing all the little people on her way to the top (she is very VERY good at what she does). Her tales of manipulation, humiliation (of other people, of course) and extravagant shopping change (slowly but inevitably) when she loses her job in a corporate merger. Apparently, she has made an enemy or two over the years, because it's much more difficult to find a job than she could have ever expected. As she gradually loses everything (except her pets and her long-suffering boyfriend) she begins to re-evaluate her life and priorities.
Jen Lancaster really does have a gift for telling horrible terrible life stories in a way that is uproarious. If you have a Y chromosome, you will probably hate this book. But if you're female and enjoy laughing until you pee yourself at snarky, witty stories, read it.
