SummaryBitter 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
Jen Lancaster was living the sweet life—until real life
kicked her to the curb.
She had the perfect man, the perfect job—hell, she had
the perfect life—and there was no reason to think it
wouldn't last. Or maybe there was, but Jen Lancaster was too
busy being manicured, pedicured, highlighted, and generally
adored to notice.
This is the smart-mouthed, soul-searching story of a woman
trying to figure out what happens next when she's gone from
six figures to unemployment checks and she stops to
reconsider some of the less-than-rosy attitudes and values
she thought she'd never have to answer for when times were good.
Filled with caustic wit and unusual insight, it's a
rollicking read as speedy and unpredictable as the
trajectory of a burst balloon.
