Bitch Is the New Black: A Memoir

Strong, sassy, always surprising—and titled after a Saturday Night Live"Weekend Update" monologue by Tina Fey—Bitch Is the New Blackis 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.
