Books to Get Lost in: Bitter is the New Black

As summer nears its end, I am looking for a book to read as a last hurrah. Something light, funny, and most of all...mindless. Enter Jen Lancaster.

If you haven't read a Jen Lancaster book, you're missing out. Once the vice-president of her company, Jen has to revamp her fabulous life-style after getting laid off. Her days are spent at the unemployment office where she learns you don't make a good impression when you're waiting in line wearing pearls & Christian Louboutin's, and carrying a Louis. Life for Jen is a series of hilarious (and completely TRUE) vignettes that will surely make you laugh out loud!

Start with: Bitter is the New Black

If you like it try: Bright Lights, Big Ass

I'm going to check out: If You Were Here (her latest FICTION piece)
