Bitter is the New Black

Description

By Jen Lancaster

Jen Lancaster was living the sweet life until real life kicked her to the curb. She had the perfect man, the perfect job – she had the perfect life, and there was no reason to think it wouldn’t last.

Or maybe there was a reason, but she was too busy being manicured, pedicured, having her hair done, and being adored to notice what was happening.

This is the smart-mouthed, soul-searching story of a woman trying to figure out what happens next when she’s gone from a six-figure income to unemployment checks. 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, Bitter is the New Black is a rollicking read as speedy and unpredictable as the trajectory of a burst balloon. 416 pages. Softcover. 2006.
