About this audiobook
One would think that with Jen Lancasterās impressive list of bestselling self-improvement memoirsāBitter Is the New Black; Bright Lights, Big Ass; Such a Pretty Fat; Pretty in Plaid; My Fair Lazy; and Jeneration Xāthat she would have it all together by now.
One would be wrong.
Jenās still a little rough around the edges. Suffice it to say, sheās no Martha Stewart. And that is exactly why Jen is going to Martha up and live her life according to the advice of Americaās overachieving older sisterāthe woman who turns lemons into lavender-infused lemonade.
By immersing herself in Marthaās media empire, Jen will embark on a yearlong quest to take herself, her house, her husband (and maybe even her pets) to the next levelāfrom closet organization to craft making, from party planning to kitchen prep.
Maybe Jen can go four days without giving herself food poisoning if she follows Marthaās dictates on proper storage....Maybe she can grow closer to her girlfriends by taking up their boring-ass hobbies like knitting and sewing.ā¦Maybe she can finally rid her workout clothes of meatball stains by using Marthaās laundry tips.ā¦ Maybe she can create a more meaningful anniversary celebration than just getting drunk in the pool with her husband....again. And maybe, just maybe, sheāll discover that the key to happiness does, in fact, lie in Marthaās perfectly arranged cupboards and artfully displayed charcuterie platters.
Or maybe not.

The tick had me crying!š Loved this book, bought it at the airport for something to read on the plane; had it read in less than 3 days! Loved iy! Jen is so funny! Of course reading your own book aloud would be a little nerve wrecking and a little lackluster, but still, so funny, I just loved it!
