If you were feeling disappointed with Jen's last couple of books and you
were considering giving up on her, don't! She's back again with a new
memoir that is possibly one of her funniest.
Jen and Fletch have
decided to move to the suburbs and buy their first house. It's quite a
change from living in the city (No gunshots.) and paying rent (but your
landlord not paying the water bill). Now they have privacy and enough
property for the dogs to run. (So it's only natural that they would add
another puppy to the mix.)
Jen is back to her escapades. She is
watching the neighbors. She's surrounded by idiots and not amused.
She is learning how to be an adult through legal proceedings, estate
planning, and life insurance purchasing. And it is all laugh out loud
hilarious.
What I enjoyed most about this collection is that
suddenly Jen feels like a friend and I can relate to her. She is no
longer the exceedingly bitchy woman with a handbag that costs more than
my car is worth from Bitter is the New Black. Now she is willing to do
undignified things and laugh at them. Some of her stories actually feel
downright hillbilly.
Also, she really makes me feel like I'm very grown up myself!
