Publisher Description
It's a JENaissance! The New York Times bestselling author of Pretty in Plaid gets her culture on.
Readers have followed Jen Lancaster through job loss, sucky city living, weight loss attempts, and 1980s nostalgia. Now Jen chronicles her efforts to achieve cultural enlightenment, with some hilarious missteps and genuine moments of inspiration along the way. And she does so by any means necessary: reading canonical literature, viewing classic films, attending the opera, researching artisan cheeses, and even enrolling in etiquette classes to improve her social graces.
In Jen's corner is a crack team of experts, including Page Six socialites, gourmet chefs, an opera aficionado, and a master sommelier. She may discover that well-regarded, high-priced stinky cheese tastes exactly as bad as it smells, and that her love for Kraft American Singles is forever. But one thing's for certain: Eliza Doolittle's got nothing on Jen Lancaster-and failure is an option.
Customer Reviews
Love all of Jens books...
This one stopped working half way thru and can't figure out how to fix it!
Loved it!
Jennifer Lancaster is hilarious, witty & willing to open up and be honest about some less then edifying habits. I've loved her since Bitter is the new black and the only slight disappointment is she hired someone else to record the audiobook. Fear not- Jamie Heinlein has a pleasant voice & reads with interest and enthusiasum. I heartily recommend in audio form as well as hard cover.
funniest yet
I was dubious about the topic of this book at first. Having listened to the others, I didn't see where this book had as much potential. Boy, was I wrong. This book had more laugh-out-loud moments than any of Lancaster's other four books. And I was genuinely sorry when it ended. It has, however, prompted me to go back to "Bitter is the New Black" and listen to them all again. Lancaster is so easy to relate to, and could be my friend/sister/client/neighbor/etc. Please, keep writing, Jen!
