I was very excited to hear Jen was writing a fiction book (yay)! I love her style and i was happy to find that she's still funny in fiction. Her use of footnotes is hilarious and I'm glad she used them in this novel.As far as the actual plot - I can relate to the frustration of searching for the p...

Jen Lancaster's writing is like a drug. You start on page one and suddenly you're out of control trying to inhale the pages as quickly as possible. Pretty in Plaid is the story that leads up to Lancaster's first book- Bitter is the New Black. She actually is a very intelligent, witty woman despite h...

Oh, how I identified with this book. Although I was recently unemployed by choice, due to a move, and not laid off like Lancaster, I really read this at just the right time for it to resonate with me.

Cute book, but not as funny as her previous books. This was her first attempt at fiction and it really just felt like another memoir to me, which isn't a bad thing! And as much as I adore Stephenie Meyer and the Twilight Saga, I laughed my ass off when Lancaster made fun of her. Very entertaining!

Somehow I'd managed to confuse myself into thinking this was a book of essays or blog posts, so it was a bit of a surprise to discover a memoir instead. Once I'd gotten my head around my misunderstanding, I ended up really liking it though. I was gratified to see that Jen wasn't quite as Egomaniacal...
