While I enjoyed Lawson's first book, I wasn't as ga-ga over it as others, so I read this one with some trepidation. Trepidation completely unwarranted: I loved this book. She is so funny and yet so able to capture what it feels like to be depressed. The only problem with this book is you finish it feeling like Lawson is your total best friend, except that you don't actually know her in real life. I want more! This was so fun and so illuminating to read.

Dark and hilarious. Be aware that there is significant self harm and possible triggers for people.
For my friends who don’t like mature language, this one has A LOT. But it’s hilarious and insightful about mental illnesses.
I read half this, then had to return it, so got the audiobook for the second half. I preferred reading it. I believe she says in the book she reads for it (or at least her last one) and has been told she has a great voice for it, but I found (if it was) her to sound like a valley girl and that kind of made the stories that were amusing sound more irritating. That being said I found the first part amusing and funny and think it's good that she has written such a book discussing mental illness so openly - not that everyone with mental illness is thinking the same things...

Partial continuation of "Let's Pretend this Never Happened" and partial very honest book about what it's like to live with mental illness. Very funny and touching. A reminder that our outsides don't always match our insides, and that everyone struggles in their own way, but we are all just trying to live our lives the best we can.
Jenny Lawson is a shining beacon of light. She has turned a wide array of imperfections into a torch for which many readers carry through their darkest times. She put herself out there so that others could feel not so alone.
I feel bad about the rating, but this book was not for me. I'll just leave it at that.
