Bright Lights, Big Ass: A Self-Indulgent, Surly, Ex-Sorority Girl's Guide to Why It Often Sucks in the City, or Who Are These Idiots and Why D by Jen Lancaster
5.0
This book is laugh-out-loud, tears rolling down my face funny. Exactly what I was in need of. I have already gone out and purchased Bitter Is the New Black and plan to get her other two books as well. If you are need of a hilarious look at city-dwelling...this is the book for you. But be forewarned, do not eat or drink ANYTHING while reading this book unless you want to end up wearing it!
Bitter Is the New Black: Confessions of a Condescending, Egomaniacal, Self-Centered Smartass, Or, Why You Should Never Carry a Prada Bag to the Unemployment Office by Jen Lancaster
3.0
Not as funny as Bright Lights, Big Ass but I think, as this was her first book, she was trying to get the tone right. It gets much funnier towards the end. Can't wait to read her other two books.
The Next Thing on My List by Jill Smolinski
3.0
Light and fluffy chick lit but well-written. I was engrossed by June's journey to complete the list and it's making me think I want to write a list of my own. I recommend it if you're in the mood for a fun and easy, yet somehow also thought provoking book.

Jen Lancaster is so hilarious. Complete escapism into her crazy world. I love it. Can't wait to read the next one!
