bibliotequeish 's review for:

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

4.0

---

Furiously happy was a fast, fun and easy read.
There were times that I laughed out loud and called a friend over to read a couple pages.

I get it, everyone will read this book differently, some people apparently find it offensive, offensive to people who suffer with depression or anxiety, or any kind of mental illness, and others will read it more like a success story.

I thought it was a heartfelt look at one woman's story and an honest look at Lawson's struggle.
I don't really understand how someone living their life to be best of their ability, trying to be happy despite suffering from mental illness can be offensive to someone, but to each their own.
