User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Serious sore belly laughs
I LOVE this author and this book! I’ve already passed it around my family and they love it too. I see so much of myself in Jen Lancaster that it’s scary and she is so bitingly funny! I laughed out loud on the first page of the book and just never stopped laughing!
5 Stars Hilarious!
I find all of Jen Lancaster’s books to be hilarious, I think that so much of what she says are things that everyone thinks and nobody else will actually say! I love to listen to her books while I am driving in the car. It makes the time pass so quickly!
1 Star Waste of Time!
This is quite possibly the worst book I’ve ever read! Not only is she the most hateful person to ever write an autobiography, but she annoys the reader with her non-stop footnotes in an attempt to be witty. If I ever wrote something so honestly superficial about myself, I’d probably contemplate suicide! This was a complete waste of time and a horrible read! I only read it for a book club, and I have nothing nice to say about it.
5 Stars LMAO!!!!
This book is hilareous! I found myself laughing outloud many times. I could relate to her character. I was never a VP but did have a high paying sales job until 9/11 and was laid off as well. It didnt take me 2 years to find a job but I can totally relate. Jen goes from being a high priced spoiled VP to being the one fetching copies and answering phones. If you have ever worked for corporate and been laid off this is MUST!!! read.
3 Stars This title really does say it all!!!
Reading this is like watching Jerry Springer, you pretty much hate everyone involved and yet you are mesmerised by the fact that some people have no shame and will reveal anything about themselves that the saner members of the Universe would not divulge under threat of well, personal embarassment at the least. While she seems to view herself as amusing, even justified, I think the correct words would be malevolent and venomous. It is an interesting memoir of narcissism as an art form!
