Book Synopsis

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.

"Jen Lancaster has a sense of humor as sharp as the teeth of those little alligators on her beloved Lacoste shirts."--The Charlotte Observer
