Bitter is the New Black

Bitter is the New Black: Confessions of a Condescending, Egomaniacal, Self-Centered Smartass, Or, Why You Should Never Carry a Prada Bag to the Unemployment Office by Jen Lancaster

First of all, love the title of this book. Jen Lancaster writes an honest memoir, depicting herself, faults and all. You can clearly see that Lancaster was living the life of an entitled, self-centered person. When she loses her job she is forced to look inside of herself and do some soul searching. What I liked most is the honesty. Lancaster is not very endearing through most of this book, but she owns that. Overall, I enjoyed this memoir and found some valuable insights...not taking life for granted and focusing on being the person you want to be.
