I'll be honest, when I first started reading Broken (In the Best Possible Way), I was not digging it. The essays were disjointed, the humor was tasteless, and it felt like a very unfunny editor said to Lawson, "these jokes are going to KILL." Reader, the jokes did not kill.
But once I read "The Things We Do to Quiet the Monsters" and "Awkwarding Brings Us Together," I was hooked. I may not have enjoyed the book from start to finish, but I closed it feeling like I understood Lawson on a human level. And isn't that all a memoir is supposed to make you feel?
