From the publisher

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.

From the rear cover

Bitch Is the New Black follows Andrews--sexy, single, and a self-described smart-ass--on her trip from kidnapped daughter of a lesbian to Washington, D.C., political reporter who can't remember a single senator's name. Told in Andrews's singular voice, this addictive memoir explores the roller coaster of being educated and single while trying to become an "actual adult" and find love. In these unafraid and often brutally frank essays, she comes to realize that being a bitch is sometimes the best way to be...except, of course, when it's not.
