I just finished reading (actually listening) to this book. It was hilarious but I mostly enjoyed Jen Lancaster's tart and truthful commentary. Not that I would ever publicly shred someone or something at that level it was still fun to read. Being that I have a one) have a fashion background and 2) grew up in Illinois it was easy to relate to some of the scenarios that were applied in the book. Of course there were very heartfelt moments when Jen realized that she had to give up the material things to take care of her depressed husband or when she took the greyhound bus to be by her injured mother's side.
Every chapter that she wrote I related to in some way whether it was how people addressed me or navigating through the tough economy. It was definitely worth the read. It is likely the person who reads this book is going to know that it is was written as memoir when they pick it up but I had no idea until the epilogue!!
