It wasn’t funny and I’m embarrassed for people who thought it was. It would be 1 Star if the parts about her mental illness weren’t so sincere. That’s what I wanted more of in the book. Everything else was dumb and childish.

A friend gave me this book and I wanted to like it more than I did. I had trouble finishing it though. Even though I was reading it while I was sick with a virus and could only sleep or read. Usually I'm a fast reader. There were some good funny lines and my friend had underlined some of them. But for me it was kind of like being at a comedy club, hoping the next joke would be funny. Some sections were but not enough for me to rate it higher. I hardly ever give a two. Mostly I just don't leave a review if that's the case. But then I thought what if someone else who was ill downloaded it because it's supposed to be hilarious? So this is just to say, just like at a comedy club this book may appeal to some readers and not to others. And that's okay. Not everyone likes the same flavor of ice cream. I'd suggest you read a sampling just like you might sample a flavor to find out it its the one for you.

The last essay & epilogue might be the only 2 pieces really worth reading

I just couldn't... I felt like I was going crazy reading this. It's like being stuck in an ADHD time loop.

Gorgeously Weird and Life Affirming

Less laugh-out-loud moments than in Let's Pretend, but still hilarious for a book about the drop-down, drag-out reality and misery of living with mental illness, chronic illness, and/or general weirdness. Jenny Lawson is a superhero. I wish I'd had her writing when I was in my teens and twenties and thought I was the only person in the world suffering from the million little cruelties of the mind.

7/10

I couldn’t handle any more of the rambling and recounting of fights between spouses who don’t really seem to get along
