Furiously Happy: A Funny Book about Horrible Things by Jenny Lawson
Did not finish book.
It’s a book I expected to like, but for me, it was just too glossy. It feels weird to critique more because I didn’t finish it and it’s a memoir and she gets to share what she wants about her story. And it was published in 2015, so my 2015 self may have felt differently.
I like absurd books about terrible things. And I like that this encourages talking about mental illness. Different ways of talking about it resonate with different people, and this book wasn’t it for me, but it’s clear her work has helped so many other people and contributed to the conversation, and that’s an amazing thing!
