Had a hard time reading so ended up listening to the audiobook. The audiobook was better and was read by the other. Not my type of humor. Read for book club.
Cheers to one of the best books I've ever read, and to the greatest ode to living with mental illness I've ever encountered. Jenny Lawson scripts a collection of adventures, conversations, and taxidermied essays into a brilliantly funny and wildly relatable bestseller.
This is an important book in the mental health discussion... an anecdotal view of real life experiences. I'm humbled by her openness and how to easily allows her reader to relate to her, no matter where they are on their journey.... with Jenny Lawson there is room for everyone. Super silly, funny, and sad without bringing you down, it was a nice read. I felt compelled to keep reading even if I didn't particularly enjoy a short story.

This was an absolutely hilarious listen…..like tears running down my face hilarious at times. An honest and humourous look at living with mental health issues that was very relatable. The author/narrator shares all her weirdness and quirks with unabashed openness and joy, and has you laughing while she does it.
Jenny Lawson will help a lot of people by putting her struggle with mental illness/anxiety etc out there. I think a lot of "creative" people struggle with darkness in their life. Why do people in society feel they can openly talk about having heart disease but not having mental illness. Both are health issues!!
Hilarious - I had tears in my eyes I was laughing so hard. This book also talk straight about mental illness. it has an important message.
If I had read this (as opposed to listening to it), I don't know if I would have enjoyed it as much, but I loved this book on audio. Jenny Lawson is hilarious, a little (okay a lot) bit crazy, and poignant where she needs to bed.
There were some hilarious moments, there were some touching moments and there were some crazy ass rambling that was both hilarious and touching. It was nice to hear someone else's disturbing inner dialogue rather than my own, for a change.
This was definitely an interesting read. I learned some fun facts while reading this book, like did you know kangaroos have three vaginas? I didn't. Apparently a few (or all) marsupials do, thus allowing them to be essentially pregnant all the time. One of my favorite chapters was the one about cats near the end of the book. I always like a person who values these majestic, underrated creatures. They are great listeners, like Jenny points out and they do communicate with their eyes. They're pretty much amazing. All in all, I liked the scattered writing style of this book. It helped me realize how it must be to live with mental illness. It was nice to have the added quirky humor even while dealing with a serious/sensitive subject.
