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

emotional funny sad medium-paced

3.0

Based on the title, I had high hopes for this one. I think I was looking more for a book that actually dealt with the difficult topics in a funny way, rather than glossing over them completely with funny content. Admittedly though, part of my mental heavy lifting lies in the fact that my funny bone is often misaligned with others. More times than not, what other people deem funny or hilarious just falls flat for me. That kind of makes me sad but it is what it is. In any case, I didn’t hate this book—I can appreciate the effort involved, even though this really wasn’t for me.
