Title: A minor redemption story
Review: I spent the better part of this book hating Jen Lancaster. Excluding the few times that the story was actually funny or charming (see: scheduling wedding during Porn Expo) she is rampantly narcissistic, selfish, unrealistic, classist, and not-so-implicitly racist. Now, you could say "well look at the title! she admits she's egomaniacal, etc." Yeah, but it's not charming or self-deprecating humor. It's grating. You sort of expect a redemption story out of this based on the title, and we kind of get there, but not really. Things get better, as does she, but the severe lack of self-reflection (other than "why did I buy so many purses?!?!") keeps this from being the charming fall-from-grace story it could be. She's still possesses all of those terrible qualities by the end of the book, but they're muted by her inability to express them through spending power.
