"Not as funny as Let’s Pretend This Never Happened and very tired at time. Forced my way through it. "

"I was meant to read this book. There were so, so many things I identified with. It’s not my first time reading a book by this author, so I know a bit about her life, but this time I connected with her more than ever. <br/><br/>I listened to the audio book - highly recommended. <br/><br/>"

"JENNY LAWSON IS THE BEST."
Jen Cannon
"I highly recommend this book as an audiobook. Her stories are very entertaining and are enhanced by the author's voice. The book begins with many funny personal stories and later ties more into the topics of depression and anxiety. A great look inside the minds of people who think and feel differently, and there are more of us than you think."

"With most humorous books, I laugh on the inside but with Lawson’s books, I guffaw in embarrassing ways. Poignant given the subject matter (author’s mental and physical illnesses , but oh so funny most of the read. "

"She is brilliant and hilarious. Jenny Lawson is relatable with her anxiety and mental and physical illnesses. Her husband Victor is really an orange to her apple in a basket full of muffins. I suggest following her blog as well. Her books are so amazing and hilarious, but her fans and even Jenny herself have made a wonder support system #jennylawson #pillowforts"
