Bright Lights, Big Ass... Yet Another Memoir by Jen Lancaster

Jen Lancaster is a witty Diva that can write her socks off (and for those familiar with her 'Quaker-like modesty,' you understand exactly why I chose socks instead of pants)!

In Bright Lights, Big Ass Lancaster leaves no stone unturned. From Rachel Ray to the long overdue trip to the 'girlie doctor' (and everything in between), Jen's fearless, comic, cutting wit takes readers on a laugh-out-loud look at life in the windy city.
