A Fallen Diva

Rating: 5/5

Review: This was quite a romp! Funny, uplifting, and even inspiring. Jen Lancaster was a spending diva, but her world was turned upside when she got layed off from her extremely high paying job. It was quite amazing reading how she went from preppy socialite to struggling to pay her bills and labeling herself as white trash. The footnotes added more halarity, which was something I had never seen done before. What a hoot!

Book Description:
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.
