I thought this was a great follow up to Bitter is the New Black. Jen Lancaster really has a way of describing typical mundane situations that have you trying to stifle your laughter in public places. Maybe her cynical, snarky tone is not for everyone, but for me, I cannot get enough of it. Reading her books makes me feel like I am not the only one out there in the world who gets annoyed by idiot neighbors and day-to-day irritations throughout the course of the day!

Picking up this book after a stressful day at work was better stress-relief than yoga. And her rant on Rachael Ray will probably remain one of the funniest things I've ever read in print.
