Book 12: Bitter is the New Black by Jen Lancaster

I was up late last night prepping for a medical procedure today. I wanted something to read to distract me. I became familiar with Jen by her old blog, Jennyslvania. I read excerpts from her books but had never read a complete one until now. 

I didn't like Jen in the beginning of the book--she truly was the condescending, egomaniacal, self-centered, smart-ass described on the cover. But she definitely mellowed by the end. I like reading about writers getting started in their writing careers. Jen's a funny writer and good story-teller. I think the prologue was unnecessary and the book didn't need all of the stories of Jen's over-the-top shopping. 

Overall, a fun read.
