Jen Lancaster
New York Times bestselling author Jen Lancaster takes you from sorority house to penthouse to poorhouse in her hilarious memoir of living the sweet life—until real life kicked her to the curb.She had the perfect man, the perfect job—hell, she had the perfect life—and there was no reason to think it wouldn't last. Or maybe there was, but Jen Lancaster was too busy being manicured, pedicured, highlighted, and generally adored to notice.This is the smart-mouthed, soul-searching story of a woman trying to figure out what happens next when she's gone from six figures to unemployment checks and she stops to reconsider some of the less-than-rosy attitudes and values she thought she'd never have to answer for when times were good.Filled with caustic wit and unusual insight, it's a rollicking read as speedy and unpredictable as the trajectory of a burst balloon.

"The wildest ride from the rise to Dotcom, Wealthy snotty, Princess. To a hard crash, in reality, possible poverty and re-evaluation of career goals, life, and friends here. A piece of mid-life crisis and change gold! "

"not as girly beach-read -ish as i thought it would be. despite her conceit (of which she is well aware), you can't help liking jen lancaster. she gets through her own layoff and her husband's, learning a bit along the way, without having to move back in with her parents, which is pretty admirable."
