Synopsis

Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Older, but not wiser, Lancaster goes back to basics in this hilarious essay collection about everything from taking community policing classes to accidentally getting high with her waiter after a fancy dinner. These are the tales she'd tell if she met you in a bar... if she weren't too lazy to put on pants and go to a bar. Offering advice ranging from how to remain happily married to a man who refuses to blow his damn nose already to not creating An Incident at the cheese counter during an attempt at Whole30, she's you, only louder. As she details the chaos that will surely ensue if she has to learn to operate one more television remote control, you'll want to settle in and pour yourself a tall one. Because what's more fun than hearing a friend share her favorite stories?

Goodreads review by Theresa on February 28, 2020

I listened to this on audiobook and thought it started out promising, but for me, devolved into something I could no longer identify with at all, or, alternatively, identified with too much. She spends too much time concerning herself with her weight, which I already do also. I’m a short woman who k......more

"Editors said no one wanted my brand of humor anymore; levity and fun were out of style, like so many pair of harem pants. Readers sought a deep emotional dive now. They wanted capital-I Issues." Hats off to Jen for going out on her own and self-publishing this collection of personal essays. I think......more

Goodreads review by Fluff on July 27, 2017

Boo! Hiss!! to the editors and publishers who say the world doesn’t need another Jen Lancaster memoir book! Did the world NEED as many witty offerings by Dave Barry or yet ANOTHER Far Side Gallery? I think not. Does this girl NEED another Jen Lancaster memoir? Heck yes – my Mother’s Day 2017 was for......more

Goodreads review by Karen on July 27, 2017

**Notice: The below isn't so much a review as it is a pen-pal letter to one of my favorite writers. My actual review is that this book is 5-star laugh out loud fun with stories from real life that will draw you in and make you feel like you are best friends with Ms. Lancaster. I have read many other......more

Goodreads review by Kristen on January 27, 2020

This was disappointing. It was mildly amusing, but it wasn't nearly as interesting as the description made it sound. It's yet another self-deprecating, aren't-my-neuroses-hilarious collection of essays and nothing stood out about any of them.......more
