Jen Lancaster hates to burst your happy little bubble, but life in the big city isn't all it's cracked up to be. Contrary to what you see on TV and in the movies, most urbanites aren't party-hopping in slinky dresses and strappy stilettos. But lucky for us, Lancaster knows how to make the life of the lower crust mercilessly funny and infinitely entertaining. Whether she's reporting rude neighbors to Homeland Security, harboring a crush on her grocery store clerk, or fighting-and losing-the Battle of the Stairmaster- Lancaster explores how silly, strange, and not-so-fabulous real city living can be. And if anyone doesn't like it, they can kiss her big, fat, pink, puffy down parka.

This book was frickin hilarious. I cracked up the entire time I read it. It was like this woman was writing a book about me. From stories about her pets, to her neighbors - it was totally hysterical. And her chapter making fun of Rachael Ray was awesome. I loved this book.
I think this follow-up to Bitter Is The New Black suffers from sophomore syndrome, or maybe I just got bored reading about the life of someone with whom I simply can't identify.
