Book Summary
One would think that with Jen Lancaster’s impressive list
of bestselling self-improvement memoirs—Bitter Is the New
Black; Bright Lights, Big Ass; Such a Pretty
Fat; Pretty in Plaid; My Fair Lazy; and
Jeneration X—that she would have it all together by
now.
One would be wrong.
Jen’s
still a little rough around the edges. Suffice it to say,
she’s no Martha Stewart. And that is exactly why Jen is
going to Martha up and live her life according to the advice
of America’s overachieving older sister—the woman who turns
lemons into lavender-infused lemonade.
By
immersing herself in Martha’s media empire, Jen will embark
on a yearlong quest to take herself, her house, her husband
(and maybe even her pets) to the next level—from 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 Martha’s dictates on
proper storage....Maybe she can grow closer to her
girlfriends by taking up their boring-ass hobbies like
knitting and sewing.…Maybe she can finally rid her workout
clothes of meatball stains by using Martha’s laundry tips.…
Maybe she can create a more meaningful anniversary
celebration than just getting drunk in the pool with her
husband....again. And maybe, just maybe, she’ll discover
that the key to happiness does, in fact, lie in Martha’s
perfectly arranged cupboards and artfully displayed
charcuterie platters.
Or maybe not.
