Furiously Happy: A Funny Book about Horrible Things by Jenny Lawson
4.0
While I didn’t have as many moments grabbing my phone to text people that they needed to read this NOW, I still greatly enjoyed this second installment from Jenny Lawson.
Of course I love the funny, bizarre moments, but for me the best was her brave, stark attempts at trying to describe what living with depression and various other mental illnesses is really like for the person suffering from it. And how it effects their family and friends. Some of it resonated with me personally, other parts made me feel more compassion and (hopefully) understanding for what other people are going through.
I’m excited to read her third book, and even though I haven’t read it yet, I’m sure I’ll be recommending that one too!!
