In the first book, "Bitter is the New Black," Jen is fired from her $100K+ job after a lifetime of indulgences. With this one, the second book from Jen, you get the calmed-down version of Jen. And it's MUCH better! Jen's "arguments" with Fletch are hysterical! I use quotes because I don't think you can argue about the merits of Don Knotts. Really? I understand "The Incredible Mr. Limpit" is a good movie but not (to quote) The. Best. Movie. Ever! I argued this point successfully with a film teacher regarding "Citizen Kane." How can you say something is the best anything when time moves forward and we can't predict the future so ... how can something be the best? But if you use the words SO FAR, then it works. So far (heh), this book has been the best!
