Jeneration X: One Reluctant Adult's Attempt to Unarrest Her Arrested Development; Or, Why It's Never Too Late for Her Dumb Ass to Learn Why Froot Loop

By Jen Lancaster

Book Overview

In Such a Pretty Fat , Jen Lancaster 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 a mammogram to volunteering at a halfway house, she tackles the grown-up activities she's resisted for years, and with each rite of passage she completes, she'll uncover a valuable--if probably humiliating--life lesson that will ease her path to full-fledged, if reluctant, adulthood.

Customer Reviews

Funny stuff!!!

As usual, Jen Lancaster is funny and witty in this hysterically funny book. It helps to have a dry sense of humor as with all of her books as do I. I found myself chuckling throughout the book many times at her wit and one-liners. I definitely recommend her way with words. I have all of her memoirs now.
