Bitter is the New Black

I'm glad this is not the first book by Jen Lancaster that I read or else I might have decided that she's an awful human being that I never wanted to read a book by again. That being said, I have read a much later book of hers and she's much different in that one, so I'm looking forward to reading about her transformation from a snobby, rude person to the kind person she was in her later books.

All of that aside, I did mostly enjoy this story of Lancaster having a high paying job in the financial market that she lost post-9/11 and how she and her husband Fletcher learned to live like most of the rest of the world. Her realizations at the end of it that her relationship with her husband, her dogs, and the little things like functioning air conditioning are what really make us happy, not her $700 highlights and constant Nieman Marcus shoe department shopping trips.
