A wacky and absurd book about suffering from depression.
My favorite part was the story about digging for her keys in the garbage can at the zoo, and then not knowing what she threw away when her husband came and told her he had her keys. Also, the story about visiting Australia. Easily the most chaotic road trip I’ve ever been on (and I wasn’t even there)

Jenny Lawson's writing has very similar energy to Mindy Kaling's, in the way that they're kooky and kind of unconcerned with social issues. There was a time that this would have been more appealing to me. I also don't love the "I'm too kooky for my husband and I just make him pinch the bridge of his nose all the time waah-waah." Maybe it's not just my thing anymore to find fun in constantly miscommunicating with your partner. Also does she drink kind of heavily?
