Synopsis

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

New York Times bestselling author Jen Lancaster has lived a life based on re-invention and self-improvement. From Bitter Is the New Black to The Tao of Martha, she’s managed to document her (and her generation’s) attempts to shape up, grow up, and have it all—sometimes with disastrous results…

Sure Jen has made mistakes. She spent all her money from a high-paying job on shoes, clothes, and spa treatments. She then carried a Prada bag to the unemployment office. She wrote a whole memoir about dieting…but didn’t lose weight. She embarked on a quest for cultural enlightenment that only cemented her love for John Hughes movies and Kraft American Singles. She tried to embrace everything Martha Stewart, while living with a menagerie of rescue cats and dogs. (Glitter…everywhere.)

Mistakes are one thing; regrets are another.

After a girls’ weekend in Savannah makes her realize that she is—yikes!—middle-aged (binge watching is so the new binge drinking), Jen decides to make a bucket list and seize the day, even if that means having her tattoo removed at one hundred times the cost of putting it on.

From attempting a juice cleanse to studying Italian, from learning to ride a bike to starting a new business, and from sampling pasta in Rome to training for a 5K, Jen is turning a mid-life crisis into a mid-life opportunity, sharing her sometimes bumpy—but always hilarious—attempts to better her life…again.

Goodreads review by Melissa on June 18, 2015

I used to be a HUGE fan of Jen Lancaster. What I consider The Jen Trilogy (Bitter Is The New Black, Bright Lights, Big Ass, and Such A Pretty Fat) are books that I go back and re-read time and time again. But somewhere along the way, Jen lost her spark. That funny, snarky, we-could-totally-be-friend......more

Goodreads review by Hilary on December 22, 2015

You know that feeling you get when you catch up with an old friend you haven't seen in a while? Well, that is the feeling that I had as I read each and every page of I Regret Nothing... As in all of her other memoirs, as you read, you feel like you are hanging out and chatting with an old friend. I......more

Goodreads review by Debi on May 18, 2015

I was a huge fan of Lancaster's first couple of memoirs. I often described her to people as "the chubby female conservative straight version of David Sedaris." Similar to Sedars, I have laughed out loud at her non-fiction and have zero interest in the novels she writes. I was so excited to see that L......more

Goodreads review by Laura on June 12, 2015

I'm kind of over Jen Lancaster. She's funny, of course, but in her latest books, the situations seem a little more contrived. Not buying the stories so much anymore. Instead of laughing out loud, like I used to, now I raise an eyebrow and go, Really? And references to her exorbitant author-based wea......more

Goodreads review by Melanie on May 28, 2015

I have always been a big fan of Jen Lancaster's books and am glad to see that she has returned to her snarky, funny, sidebar self. MUCH better book than the Tao of Martha, which was quite depressing. After reading her book, I was ready to board a plane (Business Class, of course) and head to Rome to......more
