Jen Lancaster is a witty Diva that can write her socks off (and for those familiar with her 'Quaker-like modesty,' you understand exactly why I chose socks instead of pants)!

In Bright Lights, Big Ass Lancaster leaves no stone unturned. From Rachel Ray to the long overdue trip to the 'girlie doctor' (and everything in between), Jen's fearless, comic, cutting wit takes readers on a laugh-out-loud look at life in the windy city.

Although Sex In the City gave us a pretty illusion as to how modern city gals live and love, Jen gives a not-so-fabulous, albeit hilarious, look at city living and how she learned to love and appreciate her strange, silly, unsophisticated urban life.  Readers loved and loathed Lancaster in her first memoir, Bitter Is The New Black, as she was the kind of woman who unapologetically had it all, let everyone know it, but never appreciated it until she was laid off and faced the hard reality of being an out-of-work overachiever.

Even amidst coupon clipping, jewelry pawning, and temp job slaving Jen kept her head held high and vowed to continue living unsexy in the city, until ultimately the mature decision had to be made that it was time to move away from the "deluxe apartment in the sky," to a more affordable area.  Ok, more like her apartment building made the decision that she couldn't live in her penthouse for free.

But regardless of where in the city she goes there's misadventures to be had what with: convenient public transportation hardly being all that convenient, trading take-out for home cooked meals that resemble science experiments gone awry, and learning to stay at home (instead of hitting the trendy bars) and enjoy spending quality time with Fletch and the dogs while spying on the creepy neighbors (Jen's got homeland security on speed dial).  Lancaster captures all the comical pitfalls and appreciates the small rewards that come with the hustle and bustle of city dwelling, reminding readers that even if you have to scrape to get by, it's better than being stuck in the suburbs.
