Jen Lancaster is a hoot and her latest novel The Best
of Enemies does not disappoint. The cover blurb says it all – Bridesmaids
meets Big Little Lies in a novel told from the alternating perspectives of two
women who define the term frenemies.
Jacqueline Jordan is a journalist who likes a very spare
life. In contrast her childhood friend, Kitty Carricoe, is a beast in the world
of carpools and minivans and the latest in clothes, kitchens, and panic.
However, a joint friend Sarabeth keeps the two connected. Sarabeth’s wealthy
husband dies in a suspicious plane crash. Now Jack and Kitty “must bury the
hatchet and hit the road for a trip that may just bring them together – if it
doesn’t kill them first.” (cover blurb)
The Best of Enemies is fast paced froth. Lots
of product placement, PTA, and uber woman drama. Can women have it all?
It’s tough, but these ladies manage to pull it together when they aren’t
pulling their hair. Jen Lancaster has amused me ever since her memoir
self-effacing book Bitter is the New Black. Her style cracks me up. If
you want a quick read with plenty of laughs, you can’t go wrong with this
author.
