    About this audiobook

    Strong, sassy, always surprising—and titled after a Saturday Night Live “Weekend Update” monologue by Tina Fey—Bitch Is the New Black is a deliciously addictive memoir-in-essays in which Helena Andrews goes from being the daughter of the town lesbian to a hot-shot political reporter… all while trying to answer the question, “can a strong, single, and successful black woman ever find love?” Fans of Sloane Crosley (I Was Told There’d Be Cake) will love the bold and brassy Bitch Is the New Black.

      A memoir of an educated black woman in search of love and marriage. A cutting commentary on contemporary black culture and the lack of educated black men in the dating pool.

      I was surprised to realize that this book is a memoir. Some of the stranger-than-fiction plot, interaction, and characters were quite surprising and hilarious. It was overall quite readable.That said, there really isn't much to the book. At the end, I felt like I was missing something. That's probably because the author is still relatively young to have written a memoir and also because the book rambles overall. It's a fun read but ultimately a bit fluffy.

      I often wonder about people who are under 40 and are writing their memoirs. I mean, what do they have to say? They have not really lived, and no one likes a whiner.Helena Andrews has written her memoir about men, career, and getting through those tough times with a gal pal she calls "Dude". Maybe I am too old or not hip enough, but this one left me cold. Her problems finding Mr. Right, seem to be finding Mr Right Now. She makes bad choices, and whines about the lack of good guys.She is successful, in that this book is going to be a movie....Yea?! And she has a successful career as a Washington D.C. journalist.It has been said that this book is charming and witty, but I did not see much evidence of that. I did not snicker or even smile much during this read.Her lesbian Mother was weird, moving constantly, her Grandmother took her from her Mother and it was like a kidnapping. Her unconventional childhood helped shape the woman she is today.I wanted to like this, but I can't say that I did. I am not a young black woman, so maybe that would have made a difference, but this one was not for me.I received this book from Alexandra at Planned Television Arts in exchange for an honest review. Thanks!
