SUGGESTED ORDER
Jen Lancaster’s attempts to grow the hell up
will have readers in heaven.
In Such a Pretty Fat, Jen learned how to come to terms with her
body. In My Fair Lazy, she expanded her mind. Now, the New York
Times bestselling author gives herself—and her generation—a kick
in the X, by facing her greatest challenge to date: acting her age.
Jen is finally ready to put away childish things (except her Barbie
Styling Head, of course) and embrace the investment-making,
mortgage-carrying, life insurance-having adult she’s become. From
getting her first mammogram to volunteering at a soup kitchen, she
tackles the grown-up activities she’s resisted for years, and with
each rite of passage she completes, she’ll uncover a valuable—and
probably humiliating—life lesson that will ease her path to fullfledged,
if reluctant, adult.
Jen Lancaster is the New York Times bestselling author of six books.
She is a regular columnist for Tribune Media Services. She resides in the
suburbs of Chicago and blogs at jennsylvania.com.
