I think chapter 9: letter to my insurance company was my favorite. It is relatable to the struggles we face.

kristyderp's review against another edition
It's my first experience with this author, and I listened to the audiobook on Libby.
This book is oriented with serious and emotional chapters interlaced with silly comedic chapters. I really liked and related to the honest, vulnerable parts about mental illness, especially depression and anxiety, and learning to live with your demons. The humor was hit or miss for me; some of the situations were pretty funny, but sometimes the jokes were a little long winded. The final chapter of the book was a really nice metaphor and I listened to it twice so I can hold on to it and remember it.

Jenny Lawson is the best. While I've adored every book of hers, this one is especially funny, poignant, relatable, and beautiful.jazzlioness's review against another edition
