Described as 'a hilarious collection of the most agonizing real-life inconveniences faced by the iPhone-losing, polenta-burning, Eurostar-missing middle classes,' the book is divided in to subject sections - these being:
- Eating in.
- Eating out.
- Shopping.
- Quinoa.
- Drinking.
- Work.
- Technology.
- Christmas.
- The help.
- At home.
- On holiday.
- Looking good.
The book satirises the middle-class for the dramatising of trivial matters typically experienced in first-world counties such as Britain. Examples of this and the book's content are featured below:
Ultimately, the book stereotypes the middle-class by using humorous tweets and expressions that give insight in to the privileged lifestyles of higher-class society. The books content in reality has no affect on class - for example, anyone can eat quinoa, lower, middle or upper-class persons of society. This is something I may be able to explore for my own resolution to the British class system and the perceptions created by it
