Furiously Happy: A Funny Book about Horrible Things by Jenny Lawson

3.0

---

While I found parts of Lawson's narration to be very funny, overall, the fact that I didn't really know who she was before picking this up worked against my enjoyment of this book. I think it was recommended on goodreads during the Mental Health Awareness month. Some of Lawson's descriptions had me laughing like a maniac on the street, but I also found it quite easy at times to zone out and have to go back because not all of her stories really appealed to me without the pre-personal investment that I often have when I pick up other people's memoirs. I needed something to listen to and this filled that need, but I'm not sure I'd recommend this to anyone who doesn't already know who Lawson is.
