Product Description
Jen Lancaster hates to burst your happy little bubble, but life in the big city isn't all it's cracked up to be. Contrary to what you see on TV and in the movies, most urbanites aren't party-hopping in slinky dresses and strappy stilettos. But lucky for us, Lancaster knows how to make the life of the lower crust mercilessly funny and infinitely entertaining.
Whether she's reporting rude neighbors to Homeland Security, harboring a crush on her grocery store clerk, or fighting-and losing-the Battle of the Stairmaster- Lancaster explores how silly, strange, and not-so-fabulous real city living can be. And if anyone doesn't like it, they can kiss her big, fat, pink, puffy down parka.

This made it over here in record time. Thanks so much for the book - I always appreciate a wishlist book!
The second in this side-splitting series of Jen Lancaster's adventures in Chicago. This is the other side of the glamour of New York seen in the 'Sex and the City'. Instead of chic parties and shoes by Manolo, there are crazy neighbors and adventures in bus riding. This book had me in tears because I was laughing so hard - I think I've seen some of these people at the local Walmart.
Will give to a friend at work - then make available.

Sending to dvg as part of the wishlist tag game - Enjoy!
Arrived safely in NJ ~ thank you Bkind2books for tagging me with it! I really enjoy Jen Lancaster, she makes me laugh out loud quite loudly. As a former NYer, I can appreciate the snarky humor and often think what Jen types. Looking forward to reading it quickly and sharing it with other wishers. Doing the happy dance! =)

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
I did not want to put this book down once I started it. I was being quite inappropriate, laughing loudly as I read this while waiting to be called as a juror. So after I was called, I read it only at home. It was the right thing to do.
I don't want to be a spoiler, so I will only say that I have said [or thought] similar things in similar situations. I can relate to so many of the observations, comments and experiences Jen has in her marriage, with her neighbors and life/people in general. I can't wait for her next book. Please hurry Jen!
This surprise WL RABCK will be heading to ksloan23 who has shared many a good read with me.
