A Keeper for sure!!

A fun, enjoyable, made me laugh and brought back memories of my own experiences kind of book. I am almost 60 years old (but thats only a #) and loved reading this book. Very candid and real, saying a lot of the things some of us think but are too timid to say so if you are the shy and polite type this book will give you a big boost, and most likely some wide eyed surprises.

Her story reflects the true and sad effects of corporations telling you that you are a valued employee and assuring you that your job is secure only to boot you out the door the next day with only a cardboard box full of your stuff. The endless "game" of interviews, users and rejections are put in a perspective that only Jen could do to make this the best seller that it is.

I smiled and laughed and absolutely enjoyed the entire book.

One of the funniest books I've ever read

I actually read this book for a book club, and I'm so glad we picked this book! This book is made up of short stories that give you a very real and funny look into Lancaster's life after she is fired from her job. During this time she applies at every company imaginable, gets married, adopts a couple of dogs, and even loses her apartment steps! This book was laugh out loud, and I can't wait to read her other books!

A bOoK tHat diLLeD mY piCkLe

I read a review for Jen Lancaster's newest book in some entertainment magizine. I loved the sound of her writing and her personality seemed somewhat familiar.
Being the freak I am - I had to make sure that I read her work in order and checked to see if she had any previous books. BingO! I started hunting around the fiction isles and was getting miffed when I finally surendered and asked the store clerk for some assistance. To discover that her writing is also nonfiction floored me!!
I grabbed my copy and headed to the nearest chair to give it a gander. I read the first few pages and was hooked. Jen writes so much of the stuff that really goes on in my head but I would be too chicken to write (anywhere other than my journals). She's funny and real! I can't wait to read her other books!
I liked her so much that I checked out her website and was hoping she might make some southern bookstores for signings. I highly recommend this book and have been shamelessly pushing it at family and friends ever since! (Although, I threaten their lives when it comes down to my copy and demand that they purcahse their own :-)
MUST READ!!!
Love, Loved, Loved it!!!!

Book is funny, she is annoying

While I loved the book and found myself laughing out loud, I really felt like I would despise her in person. She comes off spoiles and entitled. But, I felt like I was listening to a funny friend talk about life. I would recommend as a beach read.

Jen Lancaster was 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.
