It's a JENaissance! The New York Times bestselling author of Pretty in Plaid gets her culture on. Readers have followed Jen Lancaster through job loss, sucky city living, weight loss attempts, and 1980s nostalgia. Now Jen chronicles her efforts to achieve cultural enlightenment, with some hilarious missteps and genuine moments of inspiration along the way. And she does so by any means necessary: reading canonical literature, viewing classic films, attending the opera, researching artisan cheeses, and even enrolling in etiquette classes to improve her social graces. In Jen's corner is a crack team of experts, including Page Six socialites, gourmet chefs, an opera aficionado, and a master sommelier. She may discover that well-regarded, high- priced stinky cheese tastes exactly as bad as it smells, and that her love for Kraft American Singles is forever. But one thing's for certain: Eliza Doolittle's got nothing on Jen Lancaster-and failure is an option. Watch a Video

I think Jen is losing her edge and I mean that in a good way. She is now a female version of A. J. Jacobs on her quest to find the answers to life's questions. This book shows the importance of how an education is never complete. I have to admit I am not a huge reality television fan, but I now h...
No other author can actually make me laugh out loud while reading a book. Which I did...multiple times. Lancaster does it again with her hilarious new book. Highly recommend!
