Anti-Heroes | Jen Lancaster
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Two best friends, stalled and dissatisfied, change the course of their lives in a wildly funny novel about facing your fears--to the extreme--by New York Times bestselling author Jen Lancaster.Once upon a time, Dr. Emily Nichols--the academic kind, not the physician kind--was an eco-crusader who was shot with water cannons, hunted by poachers, and chased by a bulldozer. Now? Action Emily lives in a bland condo with gray walls and teaches disengaged students at a university alongside a risk-allergic boyfriend, asking herself every day: How did I get here?Then one afternoon Emily and her best friend, people-pleasing real estate agent Liv Bennett, witness an attempted robbery at their local coffee shop that is foiled by a yoga mom wielding a baby stroller. Their hero attributes her bravery to a mysterious class called Fearless, Inc. Its enigmatic and dizzyingly muscular instructor, Zeus, is now fully committed to helping Emily and Liv overcome their fears, too--one thrilling self-help lesson at a time.Along with a ragtag group of other wimps, Emily and Liv must embrace the passionately unconventional methods of the leader to harness their powers, gain a bracing new perspective on life, act on their impulses, and be the no-holds-barred anti-heroes of their dreams.

Slow whiny start (I get it is for character development but sheesh). However, it does pick up the pace and is an interesting look at how our daily fears prevent us from living life to the fullest. Liv and Emily are best friends and stuck in uncomfortable ruts….until being victims of robbery at gun point make them realize it‘s time to move forward.

Emily and Liv are best friends from college who are stuck in their lives as as adults. Emily, a college professor, is living a boring life compared to her former life as an environmental activist. Liv is a realtor who lets her clients walk all over her. They go to a coffee shop, where they are talking about how they used to live fearlessly, when suddenly the shop is robbed. Not my favorite Lancaster, but a quick read
