Fav Essay: Six times I’ve Lost my Shoes While Wearing Them.
Sooo hilarious. I do want to also rereads it on audio. I was dying laughing at soooo many of these essays. I love how Jenny brings humor to the darkest moments as well as the most mundane activities. Every book she writes is better than the last . There were many times that I was laughing out loud as well as reading it outloud to Netty (my wife)
🌷Haiku Review 🌸
Laugh until you cry,
Jenny will have you rolling.
Dog condoms ‘nuff said 😂
Also you’ll just have to read it to believe me that dog condoms is not what you think they are .

This book was a mixed bag for me. There were parts I related to strongly, parts that made me laugh out loud, parts that made me cringe, parts I tuned out, and parts that went into graphic details about rats, Shark Tanks pitches, and killing chickens that I just had to skip completely. Even though it was hard at times to listen to, the chapters where Lawson writes about mental illness & the treatments she has undergone and the connections to her own family history of mental illness were powerful.
When it comes to books I find hard to review I always ask myself: "Would I recommend it?" With this book, I would recommend her earlier books like <I>Furiously Happy</i> or <I>Let's pretend this never happened</i> first, especially if you're new to Jenny Lawson's writings. If you're already a fan, I do think this book is worth checking out of your local library.
