Meet Jen Lancaster, New York Times bestselling author of seven books. In her second novel, Here I Go Again (NAL, hardcover, $25.95, on sale 1/29/2013), Lancaster takes us back to the 80's with a hilarious and charming novel that is equal parts Mean Girls and Back to the Future. It's a story of time travel, karma, and redemption.
Twenty years after ruling the halls of her suburban Chicago high school, Lissy Ryder doesn't understand why her glory days ended. Back then, she was worshipped ... beloved ... feared. Present day, not so much. She's been pink-slipped from her high-paying job, dumped by her husband and kicked out of her condo. Now, at thirty-seven, she's struggling to start a business out of her parents' garage and sleeping under the 80's rock posters in her old bedroom.
Lissy finally realizes karma is the only bitch bigger than she was. Her present is miserable because of her past. But it's not like she can go back in time and change who she was...or can she? In Here I Go Again, Lissy gets the chance for a high school do-over.
The result is a sharp, funny, and touching story about first love, family relationships, and the far-reaching consequences of the way we act in the cafeteria.
.jpg) Since 2006, Jen Lancaster has sold more than one million books, sharing details from her colorful life in a series of hilarious memoirs like Bitter is the New Black and Such a Pretty Fat. In the process, she garnered a legion of rabid fans who show up to her events in droves. Two years ago, Lancaster successfully made the leap to fiction when her first novel, If You Were Here, hit the New York Times bestseller list. With her latest novel, Here I Go Again, Lancaster cements her role as one of the funniest and sharpest writers of contemporary women's fiction in the vein of Jennifer Weiner and Emily Giffin.
If you cannot make the event, you can reserve a personalized copy of any of Ms. Lancaster's books by contacting Fiction Addiction in advance at 864-675-0540 or at info@fiction-addiction.com.
