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.
- Witty Nonfiction: A collection of sharp, unapologetic essays fueled by pop culture, razor-sharp observations, and the kind of brutal honesty you only get from your best friend after midnight.
- Humorous Memoir: Follow Helena's journey from being the daughter of the town lesbian to a political reporter navigating the D.C. shark tank, one professional and personal disaster at a time.
- Dating and Relationships: A hilarious and painfully relatable look at the search for love as a successful Black woman, from dodging the Nigerian E-mail Scam of ex-sorta-boyfriends to being cursed as the perfect girl.
- Mother-Daughter Stories: Explore the one-of-a-kind bond between Helena and her mother, Frances, in brutally honest and funny tales of kidnapping, life lessons, and riding in cars with lesbians.
