>> You wont stop laughing
If you can imagine Jen Lancaster only gets better with each book You will find yourself laughing out loud and nodding along with the stories Jen tells about her life in the 80 s and 90 s in this book I can t recommend it highly enough
>> Not as Pretty as Others
Jen Lancaster keeps her humorous bit alive with her third novel Pretty In Plaid Lancaster takes readers on the ultimate flashback in time traveling back through the 80s and 90s and revealing her journey to show just how she got to where she is now I enjoyed reading about the disastrous birthday dinner when Lancaster was eight and realized how to eat a lobster her Greek years in college and how she struggled to fit in and how she came to meet her future husband Fletch
Pretty in Plaid was a fun read mainly because I was learning even more about one of my favorite authors I like how Lancaster lets readers into her life and her humor and honesty through each saga keeps me laughing throughout the novel I do have to be honest and say this wasn t my favorite novel from Jen Lancaster it just didn t give me the same pull as the others I have read I think maybe because there was not really a true plot it was just basically story telling and I wasn t sure where the story would stop Still an entertaining read and I would recommend to all chick lit fans just not a personal favorite of mine
>> Feels Forced
I had read all four of Jen Lancaster s books and occasionally read her blog I think she s funny and I m amused by her sense of humor however I did not love this It felt forced like she was reaching to think of funny things to talk about I still chuckled at some points but its definitely not her best book Bitter is I will probably continue to read her books but I certainly won t be paying 25 for a brand new hardcover Next time I ll buy it used or wait for it to come out in paperback
