Her Ass Look Big, or Why Pi E Is Not the Answer by Jen Lancaster, a review by RantingLunatic
“Just don’t. Other than a pretty good workout playlist and the tiniest bit of personal growth, this book and author are not worth the trouble. It took me almost a month to finish it. By page 9 she had used the r-slur and called Mother Theresa’s head habit a “towel” and I should have thrown it in recycling then. The title states it, she’s a narcissist. And an entitled, whiny brat. She makes fun of everyone, including a woman with a birthmark on her face who was trying to help her at Jenny Craig. She puts down people who use Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers and doesn’t have a self-aware bone in her body. And don’t even get me started on the footnotes. 175 to be exact. Only one was necessary. It made the book drag on longer than it needed to and made me despise her more. I realize this was the early 2000’s, but she was so uncomfortably politically incorrect it made me nauseous. I finished it because I thought she would redeem herself. Spoiler – she didn’t.”
