Congratulations to Ms Lawson on a successful social media presence. I’m sure her blog is wonderful but I’m rating and reviewing a book. As a book I felt disappointed and will not be finishing it.

It was a LOT. Jenny has a lot to say, and I just did not have the brain space for it all. This would definitely make a great read for a not so good day, and if you were looking for a pick me up. I was having a fine day and this book did not necessarily pick me up. I did get some laugh out loud moments, and for that I am grateful. I think maybe I went in with high expectations, but because I listened to Jenny maybe the way she delivered some things were not how they were read by others? I likely would not recommend this book to most people, but there is an audience for this book - I am sure, I was just not it.
This book is hilarious. If you need a pick me up, this is it. I absolutely cracked up on a number of occasions. I would have given it a 4.5 if I could do 1/2 stars.(Can I do 1/2 stars? If people going off on crazy tangents bothers you, don't read this book.
This book had some low points and got very unfocused in places, but by and large Jenny stayed hilarious throughout.
The stories about her childhood were funny but everything else was trying too hard. Not totally my type of humour.
A little of this went a long way. It's funny, and really sad.
Really enjoyed this book. I've been a fan of "The Bloggess" for quite some time, and was very happy to have her musings collected in a memoir. This isn't a memoir in a traditional, self-serving sense, though. This feels more like a journey through time with a very good friend. The book is hilarious, poignant, thoughtful and hilarious (so funny it's worth mentioning twice). One of the things I like best about Jenny Lawson's writing is that she's very honest, about things other folks might not be. She's completely forthcoming about her own wackiness and in doing so, she's found "her people", other weirdos with whom there's an unspoken connection. And as one such weirdo, I couldn't be more thankful.
